There are several women and a child in a body of water. One woman with short hair is wading, while another woman in a dress holds a child above the water. Another woman interacts with the child. In the background, there is a wooden structure with people climbing down a ladder. The expressions on the faces suggest a communal and familial activity. The drawing captures a moment of interaction and care in a bathhouse setting.
