The image depicts three people from the waist up. On the left, a woman faces a young boy on the right. The woman is standing wearing a large fur coat, holding a brown leather bag. Her dark brown, wavy hair is tied back with a red headband. The boy, standing casually with hands in pockets, looks up at her. He wears a dark jacket over a hoodie and plaid shirt, with light brown, straight hair falling over his forehead. In the background, a person with curly dark hair stands in a phone booth on the city street, holding the phone receiver to their ear. The urban scene includes a large building, a passing streetcar, and reflections in the windows of people and buildings.
