A portrait of a mother and baby facing right. The woman has brown hair, tied back, and with a fringe. She is dressed in a dark striped skirt, a white blouse and a red embroidered jacket; she wears a gold necklace and blue drop earrings. She looks down at the baby on her lap, wearing only a nappy. It reaches out with its right hand to touch the neck chain, while sucking its left thumb and looking away out of the picture. The background is a landscape, with green fields on the right.
