This painting represents several African American figures standing on the banks of a body of water. They are watching three figures standing in the water, two men baptizing a woman wearing white. The water appears to ripple outward from this group of three figures, and there is a staff or stick emerging from the water to the right of the group. The background of the painting is heavily wooded, and there is a tree represented on the banks behind the group of figures in the water.
