DescriptionTwo young boys sit on a bed of leaves in the middle of the woods. Roger Williams Cheney is on the left. He is wearing a Tyrollean, or Austrian, costume, consisting of a long-sleeve shirt, hat, tie, and lederhosen. He is holding a small bucket. Stephen Pierson Cheney sits on the right holding a stuffed animal that looks like a donkey or a horse. There is a low stone wall running behind the boys, between the trees.
