DescriptionFour women sit on a table outside in front of a stand of birch trees. The older woman, furthest to the left, is unidentified. To her right is Antoinette Phelps Cheney (Crocker). Behind her to the right is her younger sister, Hannah Latimer Cheney (Williams), and behind Hannah is their mother, Mary Pierson Cheney. A case of some kind is sitting on a clear spot on the table. In the background on the left is a small shelter that has been made from birch logs. They are at the Ausable Lakes in the Adirondack Mountains in New York.
