- Description:
- A girl, seated, in profile, blowing bubbles with a bubble pipe, while her younger brother looks on from the floor. The girl is light skinned, she is wearing a dark, long-sleeved dress belted at the waist, and boots and her hair is tied up. She's sitting in a wooden chair. She's holding the bubble pipe in her right hand, nearest the camera, and is looking down at the bubble. At her feet, a little boy is looking up with rapt attention, his elbows on the floor and his chin in his hands. They are against a white wall and the girl's shadow is visible just in front of her. The edge of a doorframe extends up from the boy's head.
- Notes:
- Matted cyanotype.
