Blind Brita’s mother, Kersti Kvarnberg, usually called ”Mother Kersti”, is making her way to the table with the help of her two walking sticks. The daughter Kersti is raining flowers on her lanky brother Pontus.
At the table, Suzanne is wearing a large hat, while Brita is bareheaded with plaited hair. With the dog Kicki at her heels the maid, Martina, is unpacking the last of the delicacies from the basket.
