That's the subject matter of an oil painting that just sold for... wait for it... $8,200,000.
The image above shows just the central panel with 8 of the men. If for some incomprehensible reason you need to see the rest of the painting, it's at this link.
The artist, Liu, "paints ordinary people, presenting them sympathetically and with an eye for the absurdity of everyday existence." You can say that again.
I'll defer any commentary. I need to stop blogging and go have a drink...
Addendum: Just noticed that for the bargain price of 28 million yuan (half what was paid for the one at the top) you could have purchased THIS stunning image of "Homeless Furniture."
Bartender, make that a double.
