The image shows a seated man and a lying child, both depicted from head to toe. The man is in a reclined sitting position, with his legs extended and his back resting against a large bundle or sack. He has a bearded face with long hair. The man appears to be nude or minimally clothed. Beside him, on the ground, lies a child who appears to be sleeping. The child has curly hair and is dressed in a small garment. The setting includes several indistinct outlines of another figure in the background to the left and what appears to be cylindrical shapes on the right. The entire scene is rendered in a sketchy style with visible lines used for shading.
