Image of a woman, a younger woman, and a girl together in a house, probably in Maine. Visible in image: A woman, perhaps in her early middle age, sits in a chair, She wears a dark dress with a close collar and pleated bodice, belted tightly at the waist, with small puffs of the shoulders. Next to her stands a seeming younger woman wearing a dark dress with a tightly belted waist, lighter panel over the shoulders and part of the bodice, and modestly puffed sleeves. In front stands a girl wearing a plaid dress. The three are grouped in front of a window with sheer curtains. To their left, a large framed portrait of a girl stands in the corner. To their right and end table bears a kerosene lamp, pictures, books, and a small decorative pitcher. The identities of the three are not presently known.
