DescriptionA man with long hair, a beard, and a mustache is seated at the right. He wears flowing robes, a cloak fastened at his throat, and sandals. His right hand is raised. He holds the right hand of a small child in his left hand. The child is one of seven small children standing around him. All are barefoot. They wear simple long-sleeved dresses of different lengths. The children wearing short dresses are probably boys; the children wearing longer dresses are probably girls. A woman holding an infant stands at the far left. Dense foliage, including what appear to be banana leaves, is at the far right. Three talls trees in a grassy field with a line of forest beyond are in the background.
