content: Black and white image of two (2) women, one seated on a bed and the other standing and bent over the torso of the seated woman. The standing woman, Mary Francis Hill Coley, on the left side of the image, wears a light-colored dress with white cuffs on her sleeves. The sleeves reach only to her elbow. Tied around her waist is a white apron. Her proper left hand is touching the stomach of the seated woman. Her proper right hand grasps the bed frame. The seated woman, Martha Butler Sapp, is on the right side of the image and wears a terry cloth robe. Her hair is tied up in a scarf. She looks down at the hand on her stomach. The bed on which she sits is uncovered with blankets around her. In the upper left corner of the image are sheer, polka dotted curtains surrounding a window with the shade closed. The upper right corner of the image is in shadow.
