The image shows two full-body figures and one child standing on a street. To the left, a man stands, slightly leaning back, with one hand in his coat pocket. He is wearing a tall black top hat, a long black coat that reaches past his knees, and black pants. His facial features are not very detailed, but he is wearing glasses and has shoulder-length hair. On the right, a woman with a scarf tied around her head holds a swaddled infant securely in her arms. She is dressed in a long-sleeved dress with a shawl around her shoulders and is barefoot. Beside her is a young child, who is tugging at her dress, wearing a vest over a long-sleeved shirt and tattered pants. The background shows tall buildings lining the street, suggesting an urban setting.
