The image depicts two full-length figures in a natural setting. On the left, there is an elderly bearded man walking barefoot and carrying a large, cross-like object slung over his shoulder. He is dressed in a fur garment. A bird perches on his back. Next to him is a woman cradling a baby against her chest. She has long, flowing hair and wears a long gown. Both figures are surrounded by stones and sparse plant life. In the background stands a bare, twisted tree, its branches stark against the blank background.
