This is a mostly black-and-white print of two figures shooting water guns at a cactus and corn in two planters. The figure on the left is kneeling and wearing headwear with feathers. The figure on the right is seated on a tripod/stand and wearing the same headpiece. In the lowest register, there are plants growing from either direction with an animal seal in the middle. The words “Regando el Maíz y el Nopal”, “5/20” and the artist’s signature are written below the print.
