A drawing of a standing man and child.

The drawing in graphite on white paper depicts a man standing in three quarters facing the viewer, holding the hand of a girl who leans against him. He wears a greatcoat over a double-breasted jacket and high-collared shirt. Leaning against him is a girl in a long dress, her hair held up with a cloth. She stands on a low stool. To the left of the page is a chair with a top hat on the seat.
