English landscape with a Tudor cottage behind. Their children are gathered around them at stream's edge as one young boy tries to piece together a pottery jug his brother broke. His sisters are disdainful or forgiving, the tension is broken by the dog begging for the baby's treat and the gossips in a nearby doorway.
