Portrait of a young boy in knickers and dark stockings holding his spotted dog on his lap. They are sitting on a very dirty set of marble steps in Philadelphia. The brick wall of the house bears graffiti. The boy looks up with misgiving at the photographer.
Keith was a Philadelphia photographer who specialized in portraiture, mainly of working-class Philadelphians in South Philadelphia and Kensington from the 1910s to the 1940s.
