Summary

Illustration shows a modest domestic interior where a young woman sits at a table in the foreground with her head bowed over a garment shes sews on her lap. In the background, a young man enters through an open outside door at right; he is greeted by a little girl who smiles up at him while clutching his hand, as an older woman wearing a bonnet, at left, looks on happily.
