The image displays an upper body perspective of a woman holding a child. The woman is leaning over with her head toward the child, who is positioned near a water spigot. The features of the woman's face are in shadow, her hair is dark and slightly wavy, falling around her face. She is wearing a dark garment with tassels, and her hands are by the spigot releasing a small stream of water. The child's face is partly visible, with light-colored tousled hair that appears wet, wearing a patterned garment. There are no visible jewelry or objects. The backdrop is cobblestone pavement that fades into the distance.
