This sketch shows a crowded living room with six people and a dog. One woman in dark clothes stands holding a baby’s dress, while another woman sits holding a child. A man in a coat stands near a table with a birdcage, a clock, and a lamp. The walls have framed pictures, and the furniture looks old-fashioned. The baby in the center is wrapped in a blanket, but the artist left its face blank. This might be a joke—babies don’t stay still for long! If you like this style, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art.
