DescriptionImage of dining room with two shirtless boys and a young woman partially cropped from view on the right edge of the frame. One of the boys is seated at the table with raised eyebrows and chin resting on his hands as he looks at the screen of a Macintosh laptop. The other boy stands in profile with his hands wrapped around his head. The young woman holds a pink MP3 player and is seated cross-legged on the opposite side of the table. She is dressed in cutoff jean shorts, flip-flops, and her midriff is exposed; we cannot see her face.Provenance
