A woman stands on the left side wearing a long, light-brown kimono with a yellow and white checkered pattern on the front and circular designs on the rest. Her hair is styled in two buns on top of her head. In the center, a small child sits on the floor being held by another person. The person holding the child sits on the floor with their knees bent, wearing a yellow kimono. The child is dressed in a white kimono. To the right, there is a low red table with various items on it, including a teapot, a cup, and a small container.
