This print depicts a woman sitting with a child under a rocky outcrop. The woman is holding the child close to her chest, and the child appears to be breastfeeding. The woman has long flowing hair and is naked, facing slightly to the right. The child seems to be partially wrapped in a draped piece of cloth. The background shows rugged terrain with rocks and foliage, and in the distance to the left, a castle and more trees can be seen. A man is also visible, crawling on the ground towards the left. He has a long beard and is nude, and thin rays seem to radiate from his head.
