There are two people in the image. In the foreground, a child is standing with one arm bent across their body and the other hanging at their side. The child has curly hair and is wearing a sleeveless sweater over a long-sleeved shirt, pants, and boots. The child has an open mouth. In the background, an older woman is standing near a wall. She has short, wavy hair and is wearing a sleeveless top with a collar and pants. The woman's arms are raised slightly, and her mouth is open. There is a broom leaning against the wall next to her. The room has peeling paint on the walls, a window with a partially rolled-up shade to the right, a bed with a floral-patterned blanket behind the child, and another window partially covered with a cloth or shade near the woman. There is a small piece of paper and some debris near the woman on the wooden floor. The room has a modest and aged appearance, with soft lighting from the window.
