Informal group photograph at the Abbey Art Centre. Jean Renoir stands closest to the camera, back turned, looking on as his second wife Dido Freire is greeted by Lotte Reiniger (who wears a long string of beads); the car (possibly a taxi cab) by which they have arrived can just be seen behind them. To the right are Carl Koch, also with back turned, talking with sculptor Peter King. Reinger and Koch were godparents to King's two children, Janet and Mike King.
