A candid photograph capturing a family moment with three people. A woman sits on a patio chair looking up thoughtfully at a young girl in a red swimsuit who stands beside her, gently touching the woman's chin. A man, partially out of focus, is seated in the foreground, looking down at something in his hands. The scene is framed by a window overlooking a backyard with a swimming pool, and the image includes handwritten inscriptions at the bottom.
