National Gallery of Art

The image depicts two figures. One is a child standing in a relaxed posture with short, curly hair and a solemn facial expression, wearing a simple garment. Beside the child is a jug, and in front of them is a wide, shallow bowl with a piece of bread. The second figure is an older man on all fours inspecting the bowl. The background includes a tall cabinet with items on top, against wooden paneling.
