DescriptionView of Russell Cheney and an unidentified woman standing outdoors. They are both standing in profile, facing to the left. Russell appears to be holding a portable drawing stand and is looking down at it, probably sketching or painting. The woman, standing behind him to the right, is holding an artist's palette and several brushes, all in her left hand. There is a skinny tree on the left, with a folding stool sitting at the foot of it. Part of a wooden structure is visble in the background on the right.
