The artwork features a woman and a child. The woman sits on the right side, wearing a large green undergarment and an orange-red checkered kimono-style robe. She sits with her right leg tucked under her body, and her left leg bent with her foot facing to the left. Her right elbow rests on her knee and her hand supports her head. A hairpin protrudes from her dark hair to the right. The child sits on the floor on the left wearing a red garment. The background of the artwork is yellow with four vertically stacked Japanese characters on the left.
