The women all stand a row wearing light-colored shirts and dark skirts, except one woman fifth from the right, who wears a light-colored skirt. The women all face the left and stand at an angle. Seated in wooden chairs in front of the women are three men. The man on the left wears a light-colored suit, while the man in the middle sits facing the camera wearing a dark suit and light-colored or white shirt. The man on the right also wears a dark suit and a light-colored or white shirt and is seated at an angle facing the left. On the ground next to each man is a hat. Behind the man on the right is a small boy standing, leaning on the back of the chair. He wears a light-colored shirt, dark pants, and is barefoot. The group is photographed outside on a lawn next to a brick building. There is a barred window in the wall behind the women. On the reverse of the photograph is an inscription noting Elder and Lucille Brown.
