A horizontally oriented print in black ink depicts three figures with halos in a highly stylized, geometric composition. On the left, a small child lies on a textured surface while a second figure leans over them. To the right, a tall, bearded figure stands looking down toward the pair. Dense white hatching and sharp lines define the forms against a solid black background. A handwritten signature appears at the bottom right.
