The image shows three people focusing on their upper bodies. On the left, an older man stands with his hands in his pockets, leaning slightly forward. He has a prominent nose and chin, with deep-set eyes and curly, short hair. He is wearing a high-collared shirt and a jacket. Beside him, a woman leans into the man's side, her upper body turned slightly to the right. She has a serene expression, eyes closed, with a bonnet covering her head and some dark hair visible. Her clothing includes a high-necked gown with full sleeves. Her arm is extended in front of her, and her hand is placed on the head of a child. The child is seated at a table, holding a plate close to their face while looking upwards and to the side with a slightly anxious expression. The child has wavy hair, wears a garment with a simple round collar, and there is a loaf of bread and a tall glass next to them on the table. The background is a plain, sketch-like backdrop with text at the top right, indicating "CROQUIS D'EXPRESSIONS No 32." The overall style is monochromatic with a sketched appearance.
