I Wonder If All Them Debts Is Paid, Will Crawford, pen and ink on bristol board
Four ducks are depicted in various stages of movements on the edge of a body of water that is surrounded by thick foliage. The ducks are characterized by brown, dark brown, and white feathering with royal blue accents on their wings and tails. The two larger ducks have dark green heads and a white band around their necks.
This black and white photograph represents a number of people in an unidentifiable location (possibly a church). The bodies of five figures in the back row are captured, though their heads are outside of the frame of the image. In the front row there are four seated figures, all women. Each woman wears a dress or a top and skirt, and the second from the left—dressed in all white—holds a baby also in white. This woman’s mouth is open. A partial fifth figure in this row can be seen at the right of the image.
