The image is a black and white photograph of a group of seven children and a woman sitting on a porch. The children are of different ages and ethnicities, and they are all dressed in formal attire. The woman is sitting in the center of the group, holding a baby in her arms. She is wearing a long dress and has a serious expression on her face.

On the left side of the image, there is a young boy standing next to her, and on the right side, there are two young girls sitting on the floor. The girl on the left is holding a doll, and the girl in the middle is holding the baby. The boy on the far left is standing with his hands on his hips, and he is looking directly at the camera. The other two girls are standing behind him, with their arms around the woman's shoulders. The background shows a door and a window, and there is some text on the wall behind them. The photograph appears to be from the early 20th century.
