What is in this image? Describe it as if you were explaining it to someone from the 15th century.

The image you would see, if you could, depicts a joyful scene simple in nature, crafted in stark black lines upon a blank background. It represents a small child, a boy perhaps, garbed in a simple tunic and a curious conical hat adorned with a soft spherical bob at its peak, not unlike that which a jester might wear during a winter festival, but more modest.Beside the child stands a small creature, a dog, with pointy ears and an elongated snout, reminiscent of a fox but friendly in demeanor, gazing up with loyalty at its young companion. Both figures are drawn without color, leaving their forms purely to the imagination filled in only by stark, black outlines that suggest shapes and expressions. Think of this as a type of emblem or simpler tapestry work that focuses on joy and companionship rather than the elaborate details common in our time''s artistry.
