- Black and white image of two (2) women walking adjacent to the camera down a dirt street lined with houses. The woman on the left, in the left third of the image, wears a light-colored dress and jacket with dark shoes and hat. She carries a bag, obscured by her jacket, in her proper left hand. The other woman who is pregnant, in the center third of the image, wears a dark geometric patterned skirt with a dark patterned jacket and scarf wrapped around her head. Behind her is another woman, walking in the opposite direction, partially obscured. To the right of the pregnant woman is another woman seated on the stairs of a porch holding a child in her lap. The child is wrapped in a light-colored blanket and white hat. Next to the woman and child is a dog, resting on the porch. Behind the woman on the far left is a bare tree. Additional trees and foliage are in the background behind the houses, as seen in the upper left quadrant.
