Not on view

A girl carries milk pails, one with two infants in it and one full of milk, while a young man in a cap distracts her by leaning through a window towards her. A dog drinks from the milk pail, disrupting the balance of her yoke. An old man stares at the scene from left. This state is missing the publisher's address.
