The image features two individuals, a woman and a child, lying on the ground. The woman lies on her left side with her right arm draped across the child's midsection. The child lies on their back with arms extended upward. The woman has closed eyes and short hair, while the child has wavy hair. The woman wears a long dress, and the child is unclothed. The setting suggests they are under a tree, with large leaves above them. The background shows textured patterns and leafy branches.
