What is shown in this coloring page?

The Amish are a Christian group known for simple living, plain dress, and a reluctance to adopt many conveniences of modern technology. Their life is centered on faith, family, and community. Men typically wear dark suits, broad-brimmed hats, and grow beards after marriage. Women and girls wear modest, solid-colored dresses with aprons and a prayer covering or bonnet. Their clothing is a symbol of their separation from the world and commitment to humility.
