The image depicts a group of children closely observing two lambs in the middle. The children are mostly shown from the waist up, bending forward. Their facial features vary, with different hair styles. Many of the children are wearing coats or sweaters, and have varied expressions from smiling to looking curiously at the lambs. One child holds a bunch of straw. The background is blurred, suggesting an outdoor urban setting, with the focus on the interaction between the children and the lambs.
