The image shows a seated man and a young child. The man sits on a chair with his body slightly turned to the side, extending one arm towards the child. He has a full beard, deep-set eyes, curly hair, and is dressed in classical attire. The child stands in front of the man with curly hair, chubby cheeks, and a playful expression. The child is unclothed, and the interior has a classical design with draped fabric, a tall candlestick, a lyre, a swan sculpture, and a brazier with a flaming fire.
