An elegantly dressed woman sits on a block of stone next to a balustrade, urn and tree on ground adjacent to the Lake in Central Park, with a view of the cast iron Bow Bridge in the distance. Beside her are two children, a girl holding a whip and seated in a cart pulled by a goat, and a boy standing beside the cart attaching a harness to the animal.
