DescriptionA woman wearing a boater hat and plaid skirt stands at one corner of a baseball diamond. Her left arm is in motion, indicating that she has just thrown a ball or swung a bat. The baseball diamond is marked in a light color on the grass. In the background is a row of large evergreen trees. Behind the woman but in front of the trees sits a row of people on a bench. Four of them are women who all wear matching light-colored outfits with belts and ties. They appear to be waiting for their turn to play. A few more people mill about. The game is played on the lawn at the Knight Dexter Cheney House.
