The image depicts two figures and a baby. One figure is a woman walking to the right, carrying a swaddled baby across her chest and holding a walking stick. The woman's head is covered with a shawl, and her facial features appear focused downward. She is dressed in a long dress and a cloak. Next to her is a child walking. The child wears a hood and holds a round object in front of their body. Their facial expression is somber, and they are wearing a long coat. The background includes a tree with detailed bark and branches with leaves, along with shrubs and distant hills.
