Do you know these children?

The sun streams through two windows of a Central City bedroom where a twin bed with a quilted cover is in the foreground. The windowsills next to the bed are decorated with bric-a-brac, including flowers, vases, bells, and miniature birds. A decorative birdcage with a bird in it hangs in front of the window. Lace curtains, gathered at the sides, decorate each window. A butterfly design is on the curtain on the right. The masonry wall and the vegetation in the yard are visible through the window.
