This is a vintage, black and white engraving depicting three babies with unusual physical features. The style is reminiscent of early medical illustrations. The baby on the left has a disproportionately large head with eyes that are very close together and a lack of a nose. The baby in the center has a diamond-shaped marking on its forehead and a small mouth. The baby on the right has a large nose and a protruding chin. All three babies are nude and standing, with arms outstretched. Around the babies are various plants and insects. There is a tulip on the left, a small flower in the center, and a mushroom on the right. A fly is depicted near each of the flowers. The background is a simple, unadorned field. The image has a grainy texture, typical of engravings from the period.
