Happy Birds in a Spring Garden

A woman in a green jacket and patterned brown skirt stands beside a table holding a bird cage, while a small child in a diamond-patterned vest looks up at her. Birds perch in a blossoming tree and fly across the pale paper background, which shows faint staining.

Look closer: A pink blossom branch peeks in from the right edge beside the child.
