The image is a black and white photograph of a man standing on a sidewalk next to a small child. The man is wearing a suit and tie and appears to be in his late twenties or early thirties. He is holding a cigarette in his mouth and is looking down at the child who is standing in front of him. The child is looking up at the man with a curious expression on their face. In the background, there are houses and trees, suggesting that the photo was taken in a residential area. The photograph appears to have been taken in the early 20th century.
