The painting depicts a family of three. The woman sits in an orange chair, wearing a long, tan dress with a white collar, her hair pulled back. She has her right hand raised to her neck. The man stands behind her, wearing a black suit with a white shirt and black bow tie. He has dark hair. The young girl stands to the right, wearing a white dress, holding the man's hand. A small dog on a green and red rug stands beside her. A window with a red curtain is on the left. A table and vase are beside the window. A guitar leans against the wall on the right. A framed picture hangs on the wall. A draped fabric covers the ceiling.
