A horizontally oriented color woodcut with simplified blocks of color depicts boys with light skin tones at a swimming hole. On the left, one sits on the shore while others play in and above the water on a fallen branch. Dominating the right, a massive, gnarled brown tree anchors a wooden staircase and suspension bridge. Silhouetted trees in muted earth tones frame the scene against a pale blue sky and a tan foreground.
