Oil on canvas outdoor portrait of Marilyn Overton (later Nesbitt) and Anthony Overton III. The two children are seated on a grassy hill on the shore of a large body of water, presumably an ocean. Marilyn appears at right, smiling and sitting at the edge of a small bluff with her ankles crossed and one hand in her lap. She wears a white dress, tan coat, white knit hat, white knee-high socks, and brown loafers. She has short dark hair, brown skin, and brown eyes. Anthony sits behind her at left, visible from the waist up and holding a small toy sailboat in his lap. He has light brown skin and brown eyes. He wears a navy blue cap, white shirt, and navy blue coat. In the background, a sandy shore, bright blue water, and a blue sky with clouds are visible.
