A vertically oriented oil painting depicts six figures with light skin tones before a pink column. Centrally, a woman in a red gown and blue headscarf combs a child’s hair. Behind her, a bearded man cradles a swaddled infant. On our left, a nude child kneels with a bowl and rod. On our right, another child sits with a saw and marked board. Light from the left illuminates the detailed domestic scene.
