This black and white photograph represents a number of people in an unidentifiable location (possibly a church). The bodies of five figures in the back row are captured, though their heads are outside of the frame of the image. In the front row there are four seated figures, all women. Each woman wears a dress or a top and skirt, and the second from the left—dressed in all white—holds a baby also in white. This woman’s mouth is open. A partial fifth figure in this row can be seen at the right of the image.
