A three-quarter length, frontal portrait of Mrs Hervey Francis de Montmorency: a young woman in a pale dress and blue sash, with her dark hair styled in ringlets. She is seated against a background of soft drapes suspended from the top left corner, and her right arm is resting on the drapes, whilst her left arm is in her lap, and her head is turned to the right. Her young daughter Frances sits to the left in a dark dress trimmed with lace, resting her arms and head in her mother's lap. There is a clouded sky in the background to the right.
