A sepia-toned, hazy historical-style scene of women and young girls working in a kitchen or institutional setting. The women, all wearing light-colored dresses and aprons, are engaged in tasks like washing, mixing, or holding bowls. Two small blonde-haired girls in similar dresses stand beside the women, one tugging gently on a woman’s apron. The overall atmosphere is dim, soft-focused, and somber, evoking an early 20th-century institutional environment. Altered from this image: https://www.wisconsinhistory.org/Records/Image/IM99239
