The image depicts a woman and a child, titled "Mother and Child" by Kitagawa Utamaro. The woman sits on the floor, wearing a kimono with a red and tan floral pattern, her black hair pulled back into a bun adorned with a red flower. She looks down at a baby, who lies on their back on the floor, wearing a red diaper with a bow, and touches the baby's hand. Behind them, another woman with black hair sits, also wearing a kimono, and looks into a round mirror. The mirror sits on a black stand beside a black box. The background is a light brown color with some Japanese writing on the right side.
