DescriptionA woman in a head dress and loose robes walks with her head lowered while leading a young boy with her left hand. Her right hand grabs a rope at her chest that is connected to a round container that hangs at her right side. In the center of the work stands a young boy who wears a cloth which is draped over his right shoulder. A bow is held in his left hand d. The boy is looking off in the distance to his left. Behind the woman and the boy stands a bearded aging man with heavy robes held together by a sash at his waist. His right hand pints to the sky slightly above the woman's head while his left hand gently touches the young boy's left elbow. His hair covers his ears and is balding at the top. The man looks straight ahead. All three figures have their right foot flat on the ground with their left heel lifted off the ground. Around the figures' feet, on the ground, lie a stack of arrows and a bundle of wheat.On View
