Water Carriers

The tilt of the jug and the offered bowl bind the two figures into a single movement. The girl sits higher in a ribboned yellow hat, red waistcoat and an apron embroidered with flowers, both hands around the white jug; the boy leans up toward her in a red hat and green jacket, a small blue-rimmed bowl balanced on his palm. Wildflowers are modelled across the oval ground inside a wave frieze.
