National Gallery of Art

The image shows three figures positioned outdoors. The first person on the left is standing with their body turned to the side, gesturing with one hand. The second person, a woman, is standing beside a child, turned slightly to one side. The child has short hair and is wearing a tunic and cap with a contemplative expression. The background consists of a rustic setting with old stone ruins, a large tree, and a partially visible woman leaning out of a window behind the central figures. The scene has a detailed ornamental border that frames the composition.
