Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a black and white sketch of two children in a room, titled "Peeling Potatoes" by Jozef Israëls. The boy on the left sits on a chair with his back to the viewer, wearing a plaid shirt, pants, and shoes. The girl on the right crouches on the floor beside him, wearing a dress and a head covering. The girl holds a potato in her lap. There is a table to the right with a bowl and a plate on it. On the left is a basket on the floor and a plate on the wall. The background shows a tiled floor and a wall. The sketch is signed in the bottom right corner. The overall scene appears to be a domestic interior.
