Afro-descendant man riding a donkey towards the left of the composition. He has blue knee-length pants, a white shirt, a brown apron, and a short, rounded yellow hat. In addition, he carries two wooden barrels tied with a rope on the animal and a cane that ends in a two-pronged trident.Following the description of the image, the character is a water carrier. This fulfilled the essential job of collecting water from different sources to distribute to the homes of a city that did not have pipes until the 1950s, and only partially. This work was carried out by Afro-descendants, who circulated through the streets around nine in the morning. In parallel, they watered the Plaza de Armas and oversaw eliminating packs of stray dogs.
