To his proper left, leaning forward on her knees, is a woman wearing a light-colored long sleeve dress and light-colored wide-brim bucket hat. To her proper left sits another woman, her legs crossed towards the water. She wears a light-colored wide-brim hat and blouse, and holds a fishing rod in her proper right hand. Nearer to the unseen photographer amidst the water dry foliage, at the bottom left of the camera’s frame, stands a woman wearing a long pink dress over a short sleeve shirt and wide-brim hat.
