- Description
- Digital scan of a 35mm black and white negative of Venus, Serena, and Richard Williams on a tennis court. The girls stand in front of their father, Richard Williams, who stands on the court behind them holding a racquet. Serena stands to the right of Venus and faces the net. Her racquet is in front of her and is being held by both her hands. Venus stands slightly in front of Serena and is at an angle to the net. She holds her racquet in both hands in a backhand motion. A tennis ball is in front of her at about her forehead level. All three are wearing matching printed Reebok polo shirts. The girls also have matching skirts. Buildings, other people, and cars are visible in the background of the image.
