The painting depicts a woman sitting on the ground in a forest, holding a small child on her lap. The woman has dark hair and wears a white blouse with puffy sleeves and a red skirt with a floral patterned border. She sits cross-legged on the ground with her body facing right. The child on her lap is small and has curly brown hair. The child wears a white cloth around their waist and holds an orange. Another child lies on the ground to the right, with their head resting on the woman's skirt. This child has dark hair and wears a white shirt and brown pants. In the background, there are trees and a cityscape with buildings in the distance. The sky is gray.
