The image shows a full-body sketch of a person in profile view carrying a child on their back. The adult figure is slightly bent forward, supporting the child who is looking towards the viewer. The adult has short, slightly wavy hair, wears a cap, and seems concentrated. They wear a knee-length pleated garment. The child has curly hair and a neutral expression, with one hand on the adult's shoulder. The background has lightly sketched figures indicating other people or a lively setting, but lacks detail. The image is set on a plain background with no distinct environmental features.
