content: Black and white photograph of an unidentified group of people on a stoop by Arthur Leipzig. Most of the group is looking toward the camera. The stone stoop has seven steps and a solid two tier wall on each side in place of handrails. On the left a man is standing on the dirt sidewalk with one foot resting on the second step with a window visible in the background. He is smoking and wearing a dark suit with a black uniform hat. There is a girl seated on the upper tier of the wall behind the man. She is wearing a skirt with button closure and a white head wrap. Her elbows on resting on her knees and she is supporting her head on her closed fists. At the top of the stairs a woman is leaning against the right side of the entranceway. She is standing with one hand on her hip and wearing a white apron, kerchief, and open jacket. On the front edge of the right wall, three young children are seated. The two in back are facing the camera and the boy in front, wearing a wide brim hat, is turned toward the entranceway. The brick building is visible and there is some paper and other debris on the ground. The work is signed and there are inscriptions on the reverse with the title and photographer stamp.
