A vertically oriented graphite drawing on paper depicts two men with light skin tones at a rectangular wooden water pump. To our left, a man leans over a low platform, cupping his hands under a spout. To our right, another man pumps a long handle. Behind them, a wooden fence and sketchy trees fill the background. A bird stands in the lower right. Handwritten text at the bottom reads, "W.S.M., July 5th 61."
