Description
The scene is viewed from above, showing a person holding a child dressed in a blue coat with a white fur-lined hood. They are standing near a tiled wall made up of small, square tiles in beige and pink tones. Another person, mostly out of frame on the right, holds a piece of yellow paper and is wearing a dark coat. Strong shadows are cast on the wall behind them, adding visual contrast. The image appears to be taken indoors, possibly in a public or institutional building.
