The image depicts a black and white sketch of a woman holding a baby, titled "La petite fille tenant un bébé" by Edouard Manet. The woman wears a long dress and a shawl; her dark hair is styled in a bun. She faces right, looking down at the baby in her arms. The baby's head rests on the woman's right shoulder. The sketch is done in a loose, expressive style with visible lines and shading on off-white paper. The background is minimal. The woman's clothing appears detailed, with folds and textures suggested by the lines. The overall composition is intimate, focusing on the woman and child.
