Black and white photograph in landscape orientation of a portrait of a group of women. The women are all dressed for a formal dinner, and are posed either seated or standing behind a banquet table in two rows, the front row is seated at the table and the back row is standing behind them. The table has two other tables connected to it at the each end, the other tables are places vertically as viewed in the photo. The tables are att set with formal dinning ware, such as long white tablecloths, a floral centerpiece at the main table, plates and silverware, and candles. On the left-hand side there is a doorway with a velvet curtain hanging in it, and above it is a button tufted fabric accent in a space cut out with molding around the edges. Behind the women is a what appears to be a large, ornate mirror with wing/plant like decorative elements. In the mirror there is a doorway, crown molding, and a large crystal chandelier with shades over each light. The period of dress appears to be possibly 1940s or 1950s
