- Next is another male child with short hair, crossed arms, smiling slightly. He wears a coat, boots, and seems in a relaxed posture.
- The second girl from left has her hands on hips, dressed in an apron over a dark skirt and blouse; she sports a boyish haircut typical for the time.

- The third girl stands slightly apart from them, dressed similarly but without the apron.

Their poses and attire suggest they are part of an extended family unit with children who may be working. In the backdrop is ivy-covered brickwork that adds to the quaintness of this snapshot in time which captures a moment likely during 'Noon Hour' as mentioned in Noon hour, Holden-Leonard Co., Benni [...]
