The image shows the upper bodies of two individuals: an adult woman and a child. The woman is seated upright with her head turned towards the camera. She has short, tightly-curled hair and is wrapped in a patterned fabric. She wears a beaded necklace. The child, seated next to the woman, leans against a decorative chair. The child has light-colored hair, short pants, a short-sleeved shirt, socks, and black shoes. The backdrop is plain, and the image is in an ornate golden frame.
