The image displays three figures in full view. In the center is an adult man who appears to be skipping rope, with a slightly hunched posture, bent knees, and bent arms. He has disheveled hair, a round beard, wears glasses, a coat, a white shirt, a light vest, and striped trousers. Two children stand on either side, each holding an end of the skipping rope. The left child is in profile, wearing a long-sleeved top and pants, with short hair. The right child, a girl in a dress with hair tied back, seems to be pulling the rope. The background shows an interior setting with a framed picture hanging on the wall above them, and a smooth floor with a shadowed area indicating the rope and their movement.
