The image shows three figures portrayed from their lower bodies to heads. In the center is a seated woman facing away with her head turned slightly. She has a bun hairstyle and a serene expression. She wears a flowing gown. Behind her is an older man with a full beard looking contemplative and possibly guiding a child on the woman's shoulder. The child reaches forward and is depicted unclothed. The background is a blank expanse.
