The image shows a full-body view of an adult and a partial view of a child. The adult figure is in a crouched position, holding a pair of scissors, and appears to be cutting the child’s hair. The adult has a visible face with delicate features, including a downturned gaze, and is wearing a headscarf that covers their hair. The child's face is facing away from the viewer, showing curly hair. The clothing of the adult is detailed with folds and textures, featuring a long dress with puffed sleeves. The child wears a simple one-piece outfit without visible footwear. The background features a stone wall with two small windows, and part of a building with a slanted roof is visible on the left. There is also a large tree trunk on the right side of the image.
