The image depicts a scene in an outdoor area of a prison. A large archway frames the background, with a cloudy sky visible through it. In the background, there are multiple levels of a building with many windows. In the foreground, on the left, two men in striped shirts are operating a large wheel. To the right, several men in 18th-century clothing are present. One man is being led or pushed by another, and a third man stands to the side. A tub or large container sits near the center. The scene is rendered in muted colors, with brown, gray, and tan tones dominant. The title "Water Engine, Cold Bath, Field's Prison" is written at the bottom.
