DescriptionView of Russell Cheney sitting in the crook of a tree in front of a house. He is wearing a sweater. The tree is small and the bend in the branch is low enough that his feet are resting on the ground. There are two steps leading up to a screen door just to the right of Russell. There are a few dead plants growing on either side of the steps. The house appears to be one story tall and has dormer windows.
NotesDate note: Estimate based on life dates and approximate age of subject in photograph. Russell Cheney, the youngest of Knight Dexter Cheney and Ednah Dow Smith's eleven children, was an artist.
