DescriptionA lithograph print of a family eating watermelon (in Spanish, "sandia") on their front porch on a summer night. In front of the door, a male figure cuts additional watermelon slices and serves them to two children. To the left, an elder wearing overalls, a blue button-up shirt, and hat eats a quarter of a watermelon with a spoon. Too the right, a child hands a slice to an elder on a red porch swing. Two more figures watch and enjoy their watermelon while a child sits on the steps of the porch next to a dog, a bat, and a baseball.
