A charcoal and colorful oil pastel sketch of African women cleaning pots and water basins. There are 4 women in total. Three of them are brown skinned and wear colorful cloths of blues and gold. The first woman is holding a white plate in one hand, and holding a large clay colored water basin in the other. She is sitting next to a woman holding a large serving plate made of copper, and next to her is a woman standing leaning over to wash something. A woman is supervising what is happening who has much darker skin.
