The image shows a side profile of a woman holding a small child in her arms. Both are depicted from the waist up. The woman is seated and leaning slightly forward, cradling the child who rests against her chest with one arm around her neck. She has her hair pulled back and tied neatly, revealing her facial profile with closed eyes. The woman wears a long-sleeved garment patterned with small shapes. The child, with short hair and a soft expression, is shown without clothing, curled in the woman's lap. The background is a simple, plain surface without additional objects, emphasizing the figures and their interaction.
