The painting depicts a family scene with a young child standing center, wearing a pink garment with a blue sash. The child has curly hair and outstretched arms. To the left stands a woman wearing a blue cloak over a brown dress and a head covering. To the right is a man with a beard, wearing a blue and green outfit, holding a staff. The man appears to be sitting. Behind them, in the background, are two nude children, likely cherubs, on what appears to be a cloud. In the background, there are trees and a palm tree. The color palette is subdued with an emphasis on blues, greens, and browns. The overall mood of the painting appears somber. The title of the painting is "Return to Nazareth" and it was created by Francesco Conti.
