8 3/4" wide X 6" tall photograph with brown matting and 13 3/4" X 11 3/4" off-white/light yellow frame. The photograph is all shades of brown.
The picture shows three women seated cross-legged on the floor, with two addtional women (presumably kneeling) behind them. All five women are looking at the camera and smiling. The three women in front have their arms crossed in their laps, the women in back each rest an arm on each of them women on either side of them.
The woman on the left in the back has frizzy or curly looking hair, wire-framed glasses, and small dangley earings. The neck of her dress has some sort of possibly ribbon-worked pattern, and is in a v close below her neck. It also has stripes of the ribbon down the shoulder onto the sleeve. She has rings on both her ring fingers. The woman on the right in the back has a similar dress but the neckline goes lower. She is wearing a thin necklace with a long oval pendant. She has bracelets on her right hand and a ring on her left ring finger. Her hair is in a bun.
The woman on the left in the front has the same bun and dress as the woman on the back right. She has a bracelet on her left wris and her other hand is not visible. The woman in the center front has a similar dress, but hers is a lighter color. She has a ring on her right ring finger. The woman on the right front has the same dress, in the darker color of the back and front left women. She has no visible jewelry. The skirt of the dress covers the feet of all the women in front - their shoes are not visible.
Behind the women is just a blank backdrop, which does not reach the edges of the photograph - a white wall is behind.
The picture is in good shape, other than being quite dark. The frame itself has nicks/scratches where the paint is worn off, and some small holes in the paper on the back of the frame. On the back it says "#15" and "2400" with the 00 written small like a price.Collection
