A sketch on aged paper with brown spots depicts a woman holding a child. The woman's face has no features. She has her hair covered and wears a long-sleeved garment. The child, whose face also has no features, is held against the woman's chest. The woman's right arm is bent at the elbow and holds the child. The drawing is in a simple, outline style using grey pencil. The paper has a dark border around it.
