A woman is washing clothes on a porch, while a young child stands next to a metal bucket. The woman is sitting on a step, wearing a light-colored dress, and appears to be wringing out a piece of pink clothing over a black basin filled with water. Next to the black basin is another black bucket. The child, who is wearing only blue patterned underwear and light-colored sandals, appears to be playing with the water inside the metal bucket. Behind the woman, there is a section of a brown wall with a closed window. Behind the child, to the left, is a view of a wire and clothing hanging on a line. The foreground consists of the concrete porch and ground with dirt.
