Preparing for the lucky draw
Description: | Indoor shot of two schoolgirls, one standing on a table, the other on a chair. Between them is a large wooden drum with a rotating device, containing a number of identical white items. The girl on the chair, left of the drum, is wearing a festive white dress with a necklace and has a Bubikopf hairstyle. The girl on the table, to the right of the machine, is dressed in a pleated skirt and a white blouse. Her hair is tied in two plaits. Both girls look very earnest, with their eyes wide open. Behind the table and drum, men and schoolchildren have tightly assembled, looking equally sober. A clock on the wall to the left shows five minutes past five. |
