With strength and determination, he lifts her fragile body into his protective arms, ensuring her safety and bringing her back to the safety of the riverbank. The artist skillfully portrays the anguish on both their faces - fear etched across their features as they confront this life-threatening situation. The worried mother stands nearby, anxiously watching every move with bated breath.
