Tintype depicting woman and man seated together. Each has hand in lap and looks forward. Woman wears light dress with lace collar and man wears crisp suit with vest with a white shirt and chain watch. Man wears a boutonniere on his lapel. Woman may have large floral element on her chest, but low contrast makes confirmation difficult. Studio backdrop has tree trunk at left.
