A family, consisting of mother, father and son, is standing on a country lane with leafy trees behind them and the tower of Windsor Castle in the distance on the right. The man is wearing a dark frock coat, boots, trousers and top hat. He is wearing a wig and holding a walking stick in his right hand. With his left hand he is stroking the fair, short hair of the little boy who is standing in front of him. The boy is dressed in buckle shoes, light-coloured breeches and vest, dark frock coat, shirt and tie. The mother stands next to her husband and is looking down at the boy. She is wearing a dark, wide-brimmed hat, dress and petticoats. She is carrying an umbrella. Her fair hair is full and wavy, possible powdered or a wig.
