A young girl in a blue dress stands beside a pet sheep, the kind of pairing that turns a portrait into a record of a childhood relationship. Photographs of children with animals were common from the late 1800s into the early 1900s, when studio and home portraits often served as keepsakes for families. A sheep was a more unusual companion than a dog or cat, and its presence suggests a farm or rural household where working animals sometimes became household pets. The title is cut off in the record, so the full sentiment behind "My Favorite" is left to the viewer's imagination.
