This picture shows a
miserable-looking woman with two children, one on each side of her. Her seated
body is slightly slumped forward clothed in old garments, frayed at the seams.
The woman‘s gaze is directed into the distance and she seems to be lost in thought.
She wears an expression of worry on her face, emphasized by the deep wrinkles
on her forehead and around her eyes. Her frowning mouth and tightly closed lips
also reflect her concern, pulling the corners of her mouth downwards. She is
touching her cheek with her right hand, as if her head needs support, while she
herself needs to lend strength to the children at her sides. The children‘s
faces are turned away and buried in the woman‘s shoulders. The child to her
right has short dark hair and seems to seek shelter behind her. The one on her
left has short, light hair and has the arms crossed on her shoulder, leaning on
her.
