A family group fills this photograph of an unidentified mural: a man, two women, a girl, and a baby arranged together in one painted scene. The caption card links the work to the Works Progress Administration, the New Deal agency that employed artists during the 1930s and placed murals in schools, post offices, and other public buildings. Domestic and community subjects were common in that period, when federal art projects often chose ordinary family and working life as their themes. The record does not name the artist or the building, so the scene is best read as a document of how public art of the era pictured home and community.
