The image depicts two individuals: a woman and a child. The woman is standing in a doorway with one hand on the door frame, wearing a long light-colored dress with long sleeves and a braided hairstyle. The child, barefoot and wearing high socks, short pants with suspenders, a light shirt, a jacket, and a brimmed hat, stands beside her leaning against the door frame. A wooden structure resembling a barrel on a stand is on the right, with a plain wall forming the backdrop.
