The image shows a young person in an upright position, viewed from the waist up. They are leaning slightly towards the viewer while holding a tray filled with square pieces of cake and covered with a doily cloth. The person has short, neatly combed hair and is smiling towards the camera. They are wearing a long-sleeved button-up shirt with a bow tie, and their trousers appear to be high-waisted with a belt. In the background, a wooden fence defines the space, and there is another figure further behind the fence, seemingly a child. The surrounding area is grassy, leading into more distant buildings and land. There is handwriting visible at the bottom that reads "April 14, 1934."
