Read with an adult. An object can give clues about the past, but a picture cannot answer every question about its owner. Choose what can be seen in the stated picture, not an invented story. All objects below are imaginary museum examples.

Worked example

A drawing shows a cup with a handle. We can notice the handle, but cannot know the owner's name from that alone.

Drawing of an imaginary cup with one handle. One handle is a visible detail; the drawing supplies no owner name, exact age or story of how it was used.
