Man leaning over a rectangular fish tank with concrete walls just below the level of his waist; he's holding a small box-like apparatus. The man wears a broadbrimmed hat, and is smoking a pipe. A mid-sized fishing net with a short wooden pole is placed across the tank in the foreground. Other tanks are visible in the background and to the right. All feature water spigots at one end of the tank. In the background is a wall that features a line of windows; visible through the windows are a line of trees.
