DescriptionA woman is seated in a horse-drawn buggy on a dirt road. Another woman and a dog stand on a grassy lawn in front of brick house with louvered shutters on the first floor, and an overhanging cornice. Vines grow on a fence beside the road and possibly on a crude wooden trellis at the corner of the house. Young trees are in the yard. A large willow tree is in the background.
