This painting depicts several figures and a pig on a wooden porch. The woman in the foreground is wearing a long dress and bonnet, standing on a wooden boardwalk.

Two children are bent down on the ground on the left side of the painting. A pig is in the darkened doorway behind the woman. The painting uses monochrome shades and brown tones, giving it a vintage or historical feel and emphasizing textures. The style is reminiscent of Edwin Austin Abbey.
