content: 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 is facing the net with her feet slightly off the ground. She holds her racquet in front of her with both hands. Venus stands closer to the camera at an angle to the net. She has her racquet at her hips in a backhand shot motion. All three are wearing matching printed Reebok polo shirts. The girls also have matching skirts. Buildings and cars are visible in the background of the image.
