A formal family portrait capturing the family of Charles Rich Clark and his wife Emma Wooley, and their six children. The clothing suggests a middle-class family from the late Victorian or Edwardian era. The composition is typical of studio photography of that period, designed to create a lasting record of the family unit.

The image is a formal black and white studio portrait of a family. In the back row, standing, are three older boys wearing dark suits with high white collars and ties. In the front row, seated or standing lower, are a young girl in a dark dress with a necklace, the father with a beard and mustache wearing a suit, the mother in a high-collared dress holding a toddler in a white gown, and another young boy in a suit on the far right. The background is a mottled, neutral studio backdrop. The photograph has a white border with some wear and tear at the edges.
