Antoinette Phelps Cheney sits leaning against him, facing the camera. Her chin rests on her left hand and she is wearing a large hat with flowers on it. Her younger brother Stephen Pierson Cheney is standing behind them both, looking at something in his hands. He is also wearing a hat. In the background there is a small grouping of tress, and behind that, a house.
