Visual Summary

Brief Description

A person carries a child on their back, another child holds their hand.

Detailed Description

The image is a vertical, monochromatic line drawing on a light background. It depicts three figures moving from left to right across the frame. The largest figure, positioned on the left, is seen from behind, facing right. This figure wears voluminous, flowing robes with distinct folds and a wide sash. A smaller figure, a child, is carried on the largest figure's back, also facing right. This child has a bald head with a small tuft of hair on top and extends their arms forward, holding a long, thin object towards a decorative element on the largest figure's head, which appears to be a cluster of rounded shapes and a small lantern-like object. To the right of the largest figure, a second small figure, another child, walks towards the left, holding the largest figure's right hand. This child also has a bald head with a small tuft of hair and wears a simple robe tied with a sash. They carry a small, rectangular, lidded box in their left hand, held up near their head. Both children wear simple sandals. The drawing uses strong, fluid lines to define the forms and drapery, with minimal internal detail. The background is plain.
