Two women stand on the shore of the Detroit River, a tree centers the image; in front of it, one woman holds a baby and is turned away from the camera, the other woman crosses her arms, is pregnant and wears glasses and a checkered dress. A child looks at the water and a man in uniform stands past the tree. A boat, dock, and the far shore are in the distance.
