The image shows three figures seated closely together in front of a rustic makeshift shelter made of branches and fabric. The figure on the left is a woman covered with a hooded cloak. Next to her is a man with his arm around a young child. The child is facing the man and wearing a fur-lined coat. The background includes a rough stone wall, a horse, a large tree trunk, and leafless trees.
