The image shows an upper body view of a person holding a small child on their lap. The person's head is turned slightly to the side, with their facial features detailed through delicate line work, and their hair in an updo. The clothing is depicted with loose, flowing lines, suggesting a robe or similar garment, with additional folds around the shoulders and chest. The small child has curly hair and is facing the person. Nearby, there is another small figure with curly hair leaning forward. The background is filled with ornamental foliage forming a circular frame around the figures. The composition is rendered in a style reminiscent of an etching, with fine lines and cross-hatching providing depth.
