This gelatin silver print depicts a black and white image of a man and woman outside. The man is sitting in a chair and is wearing a hat, shirt, tie, jacket and pants. His pants are cuffed at the bottom, exposing his socks and part of this shins. His hands are resting in his lap. The woman is standing next to him on the left and is wearing a sweater, pleated skirt, necklace and eyeglasses. Her arms are hanging at her sides. Both of them are looking directly at the camera. The photograph is glued to floral-patterned paper that has been cut in a circle. The paper is a dark green with ivory and yellow roses. The letter and number [X / 7] is written on the back of the photograph.
