A formal portrait of Charles and Mary (Anciaux) Koser. Charles sits in a wicker chair, while Mary stands to the left of him, her arm resting on the chair's back. She wears a long, dark dress with a brooch pinned at her neckline. A background of painted flowers is set up behind them.

Charles Koser was born on June 17, 1856 to Alexander and Hattie A (Atchley) Koser in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The family moved to Coralville, Iowa when he was fourteen in 1870.
