Women In Horse Drawn Phaeton
Two women in dark costumes, light blouses and hats are seated in a phaeton with a check rug across their knees. One is holding a whip and the reins of a dappled grey horse, the head of which is held by a small man in a large light hat and work clothes. In the background are trees, a rough paling fence and an enclosure with wire netting.
The driver is thought to be Mrs Stevens from Agett Road, Claremont WA.
