A black and white photograph capturing a young child standing between two adults, whose faces are cropped out of the frame. The child looks directly at the camera with a neutral expression, wearing a striped sweater and pants. The adults' hands rest gently on the child's shoulders, with one adult wearing a white cardigan and high-waisted trousers, and the other in a dark skirt and sweater. The trio is standing on a concrete surface against a wall with a vertical shadow line.
