A woman and child are in the image. The woman has long brown hair, and a black cardigan. She is crouching down with her back to the camera slightly. She is helping the small child to stand. The small child is wearing a red sweater, blue jeans and sneakers. The child is looking into a glass cabinet. The cabinet is filled with large objects related to the overground. The woman and child are both engaged at the objects in the cabinet. The scene is brightly lit with warm lighting.
