On the small, wood-framed couch sits (from left to right) a middle-aged, light-skinned man, a middle-aged, light-skinned woman, and a younger, light-skinned adult man; a younger boy sits in a chair to the left of the composition. The home has lace curtains, wooden trim, floral wallpaper, ceramic decor, and small wall hangings on the wall behind the house.
