DescriptionThis is an oil on canvas painting of a older man leaning on two sticks as crutches, with a young girl holding onto his pant leg. A young boy wearing a hat lies on the grass behind him. In the background, another person stands on the same path of the old man. A fence, in disrepair, is to the left.
