A vertically oriented black-and-white photograph depicts two women and a child with light skin tones in an office. Priscilla Wear, in the center, sits behind a typewriter, facing a woman on our left who sits in profile with clasped hands. On our right, young Caroline Kennedy kneels on the floor and gazes toward the desk. Bright light from background curtains silhouettes the figures.
