Black and white image of two (2) women, Mary Francis Hill Coley and Martha Butler Sapp in an interior room of a house.

She wears a pin striped dress with short sleeves. Her proper left hand rests on her proper right leg. The room has a mantel and stove on the left side. The stove can be seen in the lower left corner with the mantel extending up the left side of the image. On the mantel are picture frames and knickknacks. Behind the women is a white crib standing in front of a curtained window with the shade drawn.
