This painting features three figures, each with distinct attire. The figure on the left wears a cap, a long-sleeved shirt, and pants, with their hands tucked into their pockets. The central figure sports a hat and a long dress, while the figure on the right is adorned with a shawl and a long dress, cradling a baby in their arms. The artist's use of charcoal on wove paper creates a sense of depth and texture, drawing the viewer's attention to the intricate details of the figures' clothing and facial expressions. The National Gallery of Art, Washington, holds this piece, inviting viewers to explore the works of Barlach, Ernst.
