The image shows a man and two children standing in front of a house. The man is slightly turned to his right with his left hand in his pant pocket and his right hand on his hip. He is wearing a puffy vest over a long-sleeved shirt, along with jeans and has wavy hair and a mustache. To his left is a young girl in a light-colored hooded jacket or coat, holding a small stroller with a blanket inside. On his right is a boy in a hooded sweatshirt with his hands in his sweatshirt pockets and pants with patches on the knees. Behind them, a motorcycle's seat is partially visible. The background includes a rustic house with a dormer window, a roof in slight disrepair, and leafless trees.
