Home from school, or, The commencment [sic] of the holidays [graphic]

"The mother sits beside an open work-table, receiving the children whom a black footman ushers in, looking round the door and grinning broadly. The eldest girl has rushed into her mother's arms; a little boy stands beside her, gleefully welcoming a younger girl who is running forward. The eldest boy, on whom his mother's eyes are fixed, advances nonchalantly, blowing a trumpet. A cockatoo screeches on its perch. There are two pictures: Harvest Home and Happy Return, a woman at her cottage door greeting a youth."--British Museum online catalogue
