Subject

Washington Park; David Ramey.

Description

Drawing of a group of people standing in a large green area, assumedly Washington Park. There are six people, five of which are gathered around a large pile of rocks with a pipe sticking out from the center. Water comes from this pipe, and there is a small hole that it has filled with this water. One man sits on the edge of the rock pile. Another man stands next to the pool of water, drinking from a glass. A man in a striped shirt stands pointing in the direction of the other two men. The hood of a blue vehicle can be seen on the right side of the drawing. There are tall plants and trees that line the left side of the green area, while the right side is mostly only short grass. There is a road and houses on the left side. Signed by artist.
