DescriptionTwo elderly women are seated on the steps leading to the porch of large frame house. A third woman stands on a paved walk nearby. All three women wear skirts and blouses. One holds an open umbrella, which she is apparently using as a parasol. The house has a high brick foundation, louvered shutters, and trim painted in contrasting colors. Vines grow on the porches at the left and right and on a trellis at the right. Flower beds at the left appear to be planted with annuals. Rose bushes and shrubs are at the right. A large fern is in a pot on the grassy lawn in the foreground. Iron garden furniture is at the left. There appear to be additional formal gardens in the left background.
