Summary:
Sunny garden scene depicting a young woman seated at table under a leafy pepper tree, her body turned to the left, her head turned in profile to the left, and her right hand resting under her chin as she gazes toward a companion seated on a settee behind her. She wears a yellow floral dress and her short brown hair is cut in a bob. The table is covered with a white tablecloth, on which rest a coffee pot, a stack of cups and saucers, a cream pitcher, and a bowl of fruit.
