a mother watches on while her children shoot marbles in the dirt

Size: 1536×1169

In this black and white photograph, two children are crouching in the dirt, playing. The little girl in a gingham dress is shooting marbles into a circle that’s been drawn out. The boy, who is wearing overalls is leaning back against a tree looking at something he is holding in his hand.

A woman who is probably their mother is seated on a bench watching the marble game. She has her dark hair pulled back and wears a flowered dress, a half-apron, and white sandals.
