A sketch of a nun and a child. The nun sits in a chair to the right of the image, wearing a black hooded robe with a white neck square; her face is obscured by the hood. She holds an open book on her lap. A small child stands to her left, wearing a white robe and looking up at the book. The background shows a wall with an arched window and bars. The sketch is done in pencil and some areas are shaded. The signature at the bottom reads 'd. wilkie 1835'.
