Behind her to the right is a lone poplar tree and behind her to the left are some low buildings and indication of a stand of trees. The foreground is uneven, with tufts of grass sprouting up between the figure and the viewer.

Two figures sit on the ground next to a young tree that stands supported by a stake. The figure on the left is a young woman wearing a straw hat and possibly knitting.  The figure to the right is a toddler, who dons a bonnet.  The tree's foliage fills the image at the upper right. A fence in the upper part of the image separates the two figures from buildings in the distance, seen through the tree's branches. Presumably they are in an area adjacent to a residential neighborhood.
