The image depicts a sketch of three figures by Pierre-Jacques Volaire. The sketch is in shades of gray, on a gray background. Two adult figures and one child are present. The adult on the left is a woman with short hair and a long dress. The woman's left hand is on her waist and her right holds an object. The adult on the right is a man with short hair and a long-sleeved garment. The man holds a basket. The child is on the far left, wearing a hat and a long-sleeved garment. The child's face is visible and looking to the right. The figures are sketched with many lines. The sketch appears to be on paper with a beige border. The overall appearance suggests a study or preparatory work.
