- Group portrait with rounded corners of five people outdoors posed with collecting nets and boxes. The people are arranged symmetrically, two women on their knees at the outside, two women standing, and a man standing at the center. The woman on the left is crouching forward with a butterfly net as though preparing to catch something, the two people nearest her are looking down at her. The two standing women each hold a spray of greenery, the one on the left also has an insect collection box hanging from her shoulder. The man is propping up a large butterfly net in front of himself. The two women to the right are both looking into the camera. All of the people are light skinned, they are wearing hats and long sleeves, the women are in long skirts. They are posed on a grassy lawn and behind them are enormous leafy shrubs reaching the edges of the frames.
