DescriptionA group of men, women, and children pose for an informal family portrait outdoors on a grassy lawn near the corner of a brick house. Some of the young women are seated on the ground. One woman wears a sailor blouse. Several wear large bows in their hair. One woman and one man wear eyeglasses. A dog, apparently a cocker spaniel, is on the ground near an elderly woman's feet. Trees are in the background.
