He rests his left hand on top of the man's head, and rests his chin on his hand. The adult has curly hair and a full beard and mustache. Shown from the shoulders up, he wears a dark zip up jacket and wire rimmed glasses. He holds the boy on his shoulders with his left hand on the boy's knee. Both man and boy gaze straight ahead, past the viewer.
