DescriptionTwo images are set onto a glass plate side-by-side. On the left pose one child, one toddler, and one baby together, and on the left is a dog at the Cobb Studio in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The children are clustered together with the baby seated in an infant's chair at the center. It is dressed in a long, laced white dress. To the baby's left is a toddler in a plaid dress and leather boots. The toddler leans against the chair with their back and right elbow and looks towards the camera with a smile. To the baby's right stands a young boy in a wool jacket, bowtie, knickerbockers, dark stockings, and leather boots. A wooden horse on wheels is beside him on the ground. They are arranged on top of a carpeted floor with drapery behind them.The dog is shaggy, curly-haired, and has patches and freckles. It reveals its left profile and looks up to the side. An arm comes down from the top left of the image and pets the dog's shoulder. The arm is dressed in a tightly tailored long sleeve with a ruffle around the wrist.
