Their eyes sparkle with excitement and curiosity, their tiny hands eagerly turning the crank of the jack-in-the-box. One can almost hear their laughter filling the room as they anticipate the surprise that awaits them inside. Houghton's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, from the delicate lace collar adorning one of the girls' dresses to the intricate patterns on their spectacles.
