Description
Black and white image of children playing on the front stoop of a house. The image is taken through a front window of a house looking out to the yard and street. Two (2) girls and one (1) boy play on the steps of the house. One of the girls and the boy have their backs to the camera. These two (2) sit on the wood porch, looking down to the other child. The other girl is facing the camera and looks off to the right. She wears a pattered dress with a white collar. The yard is enclosed by a wooding picket fence. Across the street is another house with a picket fence and porch swing. A car is in the upper left corner of the image. Along the bottom and the left of the image, is the window casing with a vertical muntin bar slicing the image in half.
