Brief Description
A central seated figure holding a child, flanked by two standing figures, in a monochrome image
Detailed Description
The monochrome image depicts three figures against a textured, light-colored background. In the center, a woman with a dark, draped garment sits on a low, light-colored pedestal. Her head is tilted slightly to her right, and her gaze is directed downwards. She wears a dark head covering that frames her face. On her lap, a small child with a faint, circular outline around their head sits, leaning their head against the woman's chest. The child wears a lighter-colored tunic and holds a small, rectangular object with visible lines in both hands. The child's head is also tilted downwards, and their eyes are closed or cast down. The woman also has a faint, circular outline around her head. To the left of the central group, a standing man faces slightly towards the center. He wears a dark tunic and a draped garment over his shoulders and arm. He has a beard and long hair, and a faint, circular outline encircles his head. His gaze is directed downwards and towards the central figures. His hands are mostly obscured by his drapery. To the right of the central group, a standing woman faces slightly towards the center. She wears a lighter-colored, draped garment that falls in vertical folds. Her left arm is extended towards the central figures, with her hand open and palm facing upwards. Her right hand is partially visible, holding a fold of her garment. She has long hair and a faint, circular outline around her head. Her gaze is directed downwards and towards the central figures. The background wall shows signs of wear and texture throughout the composition.
