The artwork depicts a scene with three individuals, two adults and one child. The adult male figure is positioned at the top, seated on a rocky outcropping, wearing a traditional Japanese robe. He has a long white beard and is looking down. He holds an object in his hands. Below him, to the left, is an adult woman, also dressed in traditional Japanese clothing, looking up at the man. She appears to be holding or supporting a small child who is mostly naked, with a cloth or robe partially wrapped around their lower body. The child looks up towards the woman. The background features a mountain and what appears to be a body of water with waves, suggesting a natural, possibly mountainous or coastal, setting. The color palette includes shades of green, beige, and black.
