A black and white drawing depicting a scene with three people. A man on the right wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a long robe holds a basket and extends his right hand to a woman standing on a raised porch on the left. She wears a head covering and a long-sleeved robe. A child sits on a stone bench on the bottom left. A small wooden structure with a sloping roof is on the left. A tree and a wooden fence are on the right. A signature appears in the bottom-right corner. The scene takes place outdoors.
