A country family: a seated mother in white day cap and young son beside her interlocking his arm through hers, closed eyes. Father seated wearing striped shirt, and checked pants. Young daughter stands behind parents, her left hand on her father's shoulder while her right elbow rests on mother as she supports her cheek. Curtain backdrop. Endearing as a realistic family picture.
