Les Intimes (Friends)
A horse is held by a barefoot boy who wears a kilt and sits outside a cottage. Next to him two dogs eye one another (one presumably belongs to the owner of the horse, the other to boy's family). Well-to-do figures are shown in the distance riding in a small open boat and the image is framed with a decorative gold border.
