The image shows two people seated in front of a rustic hut. Both individuals are visible from head to toe. The person on the left is an adult with short hair, dressed in a long pink garment and seated with a child on their lap. The child is wrapped in a lighter-colored cloth. A thatched roof covers the wooden structure behind them. Items such as discarded metal sheets, wooden boards, and clay or stone pots are scattered around the dwelling. Near the door, there is a rooster and a hen walking on the ground. In the background, there is a clear, blue sky with the top of a palm tree visible.
