An older man seated on a bench leans forward to give a candy bar to a little girl. The man wears a brown jacket, sweater, white shirt and casual trousers. The little girl has short dark hair and wears a white quilted outfit. She holds a blue blanket to her face. A doll with a blue dress and bonnet and red hair lay on the bench, next to the man.
