A fine little painting of two figures in colorful traditional garb posing beside a rural well with a steel pulley rigged on a rustic pole hoist over a well. They draw water to fill jars on the dusty ground. The work is signed twice in the lower right "Lathrop", once in black and once in a light brown script. Remaining on its original lining, it is a fine early depiction of Arizona.
