DescriptionA young woman stands holding a bird's nest full of baby birds in her hands. A second young woman or girl, a small barefoot boy, and two dogs stand nearby. An adult bird flies overhead. The woman at the right wears a striped dress trimmed with lace and a ribbon around her neck. The girl at the left wears a shawl over her head. She appears to be about to put some of the baby birds into her apron. The boy wears a vest and short pants, and he holds a straw hat. Trees, bushes, and rocks are in the background.
