Snapshot of Edward ('Eddie') Gathorne-Hardy sitting in a chair next to a window, with a vase of pampas grass behind him. He is smiling and looking upwards at Julia Strachey, who sits either on his knee or on the arm of the chair. She is leaning backwards, with her right leg outstretched and her eyes closed. Frances Partridge sits in the same position on the right, looking downwards at Julia Strachey. Her face is partially in shadow.
