It depicts a man with a pack on his back and a hat in his hand standing before a pharmacist. There is a child and dog with the man. The pharmacist has a long beard and is leaning over a counter. His right hand points at the man and his left hand holds a bottle aloft. They stand framed in an archway, and there is a sign advertising a pharmacy hanging over them.
