A horizontally oriented ink and color drawing on beige paper depicts three figures with light skin tones. In the center, a man reclines while a person to our right kneels and blows water from a bowl toward him. To our left, a figure kneels with arms raised and a joyful expression. A bucket and ladle sit at the far right. Japanese calligraphy and a red seal feature in the upper right corner.
