An out-of-focus and slightly lopsided photograph of three unknown persons sitting on a long bench in a park. The trio sits in a row left-of-center and appear to be sloping downward to the left. Starting at left, a woman dressed in white sits and looks to camera; she holds a jacket in her lap. A man sits at center. He looks to the camera while holding a box in his lap. A woman sits to his right. She folds her hands in her lap as she turns her head to look at the man. A dirt pathway crosses in front of them. A brush covered hillside rises directly behind them.
