The sketch depicts three figures in a side-profile view. There is an adult, possibly female, seated with a child on her lap, while another adult stands or sits next to them. The seated figure with the child is angled slightly towards the standing figure. The outlines of the figures are drawn in delicate pencil strokes. The adult female has long hair styled upwards or is wearing a hat, with features subtly indicated by the pencil lines. She is dressed in a garment with puff sleeves and potential decorative elements. The child has a circular head and basic features, leaning against the seated figure. The composition suggests a serene moment between them. The background is blank, emphasizing the foreground figures.
