A black and white photograph capturing a moment where an adult, cropped at the neck, is holding the hand of a young child while pushing a shopping cart outside a store. The child appears to be walking with a joyful stride, and there are items visible in the cart. The background features the exterior of a building with a distinctive brick pattern and large windows. The image is framed with a wide white border.
