Studio portrait of the Shaw family.

William, seated on the left, is wearing a three-piece suit with tie and white shirt with foldover collar. He appears to be wearing black button boots.

Edith is standing at the back and wears a dark dress or skirt and jacket, a white high collared blouse with cameo broach and dark shoes . The dress comes to the top of the ankles. The jacket or top of dress has a large collar and buttons down the front.

Olive is standing at the front next to her father. She is wearing a long sleeved dress with dropped waist, cuffs which half cover the hands, a large light coloured frilly collar and many lines of self-tucking down the front of the bodice. She has long black socks and strap shoes and a large light coloured ribbon at the top of her hair.

William, the baby, is sitting on a plant stand leaning against his mother. He is wearing a long gown which has short sleeves and a wide skirt. It is white or very light in colour. He is holding something in his right hand, possibly a rattle.
