The image shows a three-quarter view of an adult and a child standing from the waist up. The man has long wavy hair, a broad forehead, and wears period clothing. He places one hand on the child's head and cheek while the child looks up at him. The child has short hair and wears a simple collared garment. In the background, there is a detailed illustration of a landscape with trees, hills, and figures engaged in a social or ceremonial scene. The background features textured patterns typical of engravings of that era.
