The image shows three figures in full-body view positioned frontally. The adult figures are standing on either side of a child, holding hands. The figure on the left has a full beard and medium-length hair, while the figure on the right has long hair styled back. Both adults are wearing long red garments; the male has patterned pants and a wide belt, while the female's dress has a contrasting trim at the neckline and sleeve cuffs. The child in the center has spiked hair and is dressed in a plain red robe. The man is holding an object in his free hand, while no visible jewelry is worn. They are placed in front of a brightly colored, gazebo-like structure with geometric and wavy patterns in red, yellow, and green, backed by a neutral wall.
