Two children, playing giantesses, carry two smaller, well-dressed children on their shoulders with great effort. The one in front smiles and points with his hands to the steep slope they have come from and the valley they are heading for. Another, lower down, rests sitting on the road. In the background you can see a landscape of mountains and groves crossed by a river.
