This print shows a group of five adults, a child, and a dog outdoors. The people have light skin and gray hair and are gathered around a small wooden table. There are three women and two men. On the left is a woman in a beige dress with a blue petticoat who is seated on a chair and holding her skirt flat. The two men are gathered around her, appearing to rinse a spot of her skirt with water. One of the men is in a red coat and blue breeches, and the other is in a black coat. At the edge of the table by the seated woman, a small child in a pink outfit holds one fist up to their eye with a distressed expression. On the right side of the table, two women stand, one in a pink dress and a wide brimmed hat with a red ribbon, and the other with a tan dress. A black tricorn hat lays on the ground on the bottom right, and on the left a small dog looks up at the scene. The background consists of tall trees, green shrubs, and a white tent-like structure behind the group. The sky is light blue and cloudy.
