Snapshot of Dora Carrington sitting to the left on a wooden bench in a garden. A wall and flower border are in the background. She looks down to the right at an open book which she holds in her hands and rests on the bench. James Strachey sits next to her, with his legs crossed. An open book rests on his knees and is held by his left hand, and his right hand is outstretched to hold the book Carrington is also holding. He looks down to the left. In her index, Frances Partridge gives the location as the badminton lawn.
