Our note:

> Three children lean out of a carved stone oval: a boy standing on a chair blows a large bubble through a long straw, a girl in a yellow shawl holds out a white cloth to catch it, and a second boy leans on her shoulder to watch. The girl’s arms and the cloth push forward past the frame, as if into our space.
