The image shows a woman and a child standing on a cobblestone street. The woman, on the right, has short, dark hair and wears a long dark coat. She is holding the child's hand. The child wears a cap and a coat and stands close to the woman. In the background, there is a large industrial building with a curved roof and large walls.
