A horizontal black-and-white photograph depicts an elderly, light-skinned woman sweeping a rug on her lawn. She stands in a fenced backyard beside a tree wielding a wood-handled straw broom. To the right of the image is the back corner of a single story home and a clothes line hung with two other rugs that have presumably received the same treatment.
