The image depicts five people in a household setting. Two adults, a man and a woman, stand at the back. The man sits and the woman stands to his left. The man has a goatee and is wearing a flat cap, a jacket over a collared shirt, and has his arms around two children sitting in front. The woman smiles, has short, curly hair, and wears a patterned short-sleeved shirt. Three children are positioned in front of the adults - one nestled on the man's lap, wearing a long-sleeve shirt and overalls; another also on his lap; and the third standing next to them, wearing a checkered short-sleeve shirt and pants. The background includes a cabinet, a lamp, books, and a framed religious picture on the wall, with patterned fabric covering part of the furniture.
