At least I hope it's the country. If not, I think they need to have a serious talk with the town council about what they are paying taxes for – that road looks like it has been recently plowed and is ready for planting! No automobile would go anywhere on that road in wet weather.
The child is wearing a kerchief so I think we are looking at a little girl in spite of the britches. If grandma had granddad bring the upholstered rocker into the yard and then didn't sit in it for the photo, do you suppose he made her take it back inside herself (well, probably not if he wanted any supper)? The carriage has nice seats but isn't sprung all that well.
