Two people are on a wooden porch. In the foreground, a woman is seated on a wooden rocking chair, with her hands resting in her lap and her bare feet on the ground. She has curly, shoulder-length hair and wears a patterned skirt and a plain, short-sleeved shirt. The woman looks slightly off-camera. In the background, an older man wearing a wide-brimmed hat, overalls, a long-sleeved shirt, and boots stands in the entrance of the house. The man's face is partly obscured by the shadows. The porch is cluttered with various items, potted plants, and several cats—one white cat in the background and a tabby cat eating from a flat tray closer to the camera. The porch has a wooden roof, brick walls on one side, hanging items, and a large tin basin on the wall.
