Portrait of a family in a highland setting. On the right is the father, dressed in a flat cap and dark cape and carrying a haversack and staff; he looks at his family on the left of the picture. Near the left edge is a woman with light curly hair, wearing a white pinafore and red skirt. In front of her is a small boy in a dark tunic with a white collar. He is barefoot. In the back row is a woman with a shawl over her head, holding a baby in a white smock. In front of the woman is a young girl, looking up at the baby. She wears a gold patterned blouse and a white skirt or apron. Next to the woman holding the child is an older woman with reddish hair, dressed in an embroidered bodice and light brown cloak. In front of this group are two black and white collie dogs.
