The image shows a sketch of a woman holding an infant. The woman's head and upper body are visible on the right side, while the infant is nestled against her. The woman has textured hair gathered towards the back and wears clothing with a checkered pattern. The infant is depicted with minimal facial details. The background contains abstract lines and shapes, with areas of discoloration or intentional markings for depth. The sketch is rendered in pencil strokes with hints of shading and form. — Study for "Scène de famille"
