The image shows a seated woman and a standing boy beside her. The woman is sitting on a wooden chair, with her right hand resting on a small table and her left hand holding a small book. She has dark hair styled in an updo and wears a long, dark dress with long sleeves and a pearl necklace. The boy is standing beside her, wearing a dark suit with shiny buttons and a bow tie. In front of them is a table covered with a white tablecloth, holding cakes, cups, a teapot, and a spoon. The background has a green wall with a window showing greenery and flowers outside, framed with a wooden frame. Red drapes with gold accents hang on either side of the window.
