DescriptionMen, women, boys, and girls are gathered on a grassy lawn in front of a large stick-style house. Some women and girls wear hats trimmed with artificial flowers. One child appears to be holding a parasol. At the far right, two men are seated on the porch, near a baby carriage. Leafless vines grow on the porch and on a trellis. There appears to be scaffolding on the right side of the house.
