This image is created with black ink on paper. Two women stand in a yard, with one speaking over a fence and the other speaking off of the porch of a house. To the left of these women is another, unoccupied porch with a porch swing. The yard is fenced, and the view of the woman standing on the ground speaking is partially obscured by the fence’s wire. A wired gate is to the right of the wire fence, and behind it on the right of the composition is a leafy tree.
Elderly bespectacled man, with a wry visage, in profile, facing left. He wears a brown full-brimmed hat and coat, blue workman's shirt and pants, and a red neckerchief. In his right hand, he carries a garden hoe. With his left arm he carries a green watering can, his arm looped through the handle.
