The image shows a person standing on the left side under an archway, while a group consisting of two adults and an infant is seated on steps on the right side. The standing person has dark hair and wears a long dark garment. The individual is facing the group with their hand resting against their garment. One adult in the group wears a suit or jacket and the other adult, possibly a woman, has long hair and is holding an infant wrapped up. In the background, there are buildings, trees, and a sunlit setting visible through an open archway framing the scene.
