A frontier laborer works a rope windlass over a stone-ringed well, leaning back to turn the crank drum as the line drops into the water below. He wears a knit cap, a blue work shirt with suspenders, a red neckerchief, and worn trousers, standing on a small earthen and cobble base.

The everyday working pose and integral well make a ready-made vignette for a village square, homestead, or trail stop.

Fits Old West dioramas, rural model railway scenes, and frontier tabletop layouts.
