This is a simple drawing of a watering can with a long spout. The lines are loose and sketchy, almost like a quick doodle. The background is a plain, light green-gray color. The watering can is the only thing in the picture, but there’s a funny text below it: *"If the garden were not a republic the watering-can would be king."* It’s playful and a little silly. If you like this kind of art, check out lithography to see how it’s made.
