The image displays three figures: a man, a woman, and a child. The man is seated on the ground next to a tree, with his right arm raised and resting on the tree trunk. The woman is standing beside the man, holding a torch above her head. A small winged child reaches up to touch the woman's waist. The man's side features a shield with a face and pieces of armor. In the background, there are dense trees, a castle with spires, and a countryside. The artwork is detailed with fine lines.
