Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a man with a long beard and curly hair wearing a robe, with a child on his shoulders. The man holds a long staff in his right hand and appears to be wading through water. He has a cloth wrapped around his waist. The child on his shoulders wears a halo with spikes and holds their hands to their face. In the background, a smaller figure stands on the left side, wearing a hat and holding a container. There are plants in the foreground and mountains in the background. The image is in black and white. The artist's initials "M.S." are at the bottom.
