A black-and-white photograph of a group of four (4) young women. The women are sitting on the floor and leaning against a sofa or settee that is draped with a fringed, patterned rug. The woman on the proper left is wearing a kimono-style robe over her garments. The woman in the center of the photograph is wearing a light-colored sash-front dress or blouse and skirt. The third woman is wearing a light-colored sleeveless dress. The fourth woman is wearing a scarf or headwrap on her head, and is wearing a dark colored dress, with her hand lifting her hemline slightly so that her shoes are visible. The two women in the center of the photograph have their hair styled in soft waves. All of the women are smiling and looking at the camera. In the background is another sofa or settee, with several pillows.
