Description
Three people are standing together, and two of which appear to be boys standing with a woman. One of the children is leaned back and looks like he could be laughing. The woman is standing somberly, and the second child is standing to her right and is turned looking at the viewer. Above the figures there is a drawing of a cup and saucer and what looks like a tie. In the background of the paper there is two more drawings. One is of a man sitting in a chair, and the other is just the outline of a face, in profile view. Near the BRC there is a small circle with lines dashed around it.
