Ain't They Cunning?
A young girl kneels next to two terrier puppies standing on top of a low wooden barrel that has been draped with a blue cloth. A bunch of primroses is shown at lower right, and an open door behind the girl, with a broom at left. Watercolors have been applied to the girl, dogs, cloth and primroses only, with the rest of the lithograph left in monochrome.
