A painting titled Tea water pump by William P. Chappel depicts a street scene. The scene shows a horse-drawn carriage on a street corner. The carriage is blue and brown with large wooden wheels. Two black horses pull the carriage. A person wearing a white shirt and hat walks alongside the horses on the left. Behind the carriage are several buildings, mostly two stories, with pitched roofs and chimneys. Some buildings have green shutters. There are trees on either side of the street.
