Description

Photograph of Daisy Kellum lounging across a sofa and posing in her family's home. The sofa extends back on an angle from left to right. Daisy Kellum lies across the sofa with her feet towards the left and her head at right. She props her upper body up on pillows near the right arm of the sofa. Daisy rests her elbows to a pillow and her hands together on one side of her face. She smiles as she looks to the camera. Behind the sofa, a couple of palm fronds hold up photographs and curtains hang behind them.
