Black and white painting of a man with white and thinning hair wearing a dark suit standing next to a table with a child on it. The man is standing with his body facing slightly right; his head is turned to the front; his right hand is down by his side; his left hand is holding something. The child on the table is laying on their back; their head is tilted back; their eyes are closed; they have a bandage on their right leg. Six people surround the table with their heads looking down at the child; two are adults; four are children. There is a woman sitting on the left; she is wearing a dark dress; her left hand is up by her face; her right hand is on her lap. There are books on the floor to the left of the table. In the background on the left, there is a raised platform with people sitting on it; on the right there are more people standing. The painting is in shades of dark gray and light gray.
