The image depicts a woman seated with a child on her lap. The woman is facing forward, holding the child in her arms. She has a round face and is wearing a coat with a furry collar, along with a large-brimmed hat covering her hair. The child is dressed in a warm coat with a hood and is seated quietly, holding a small object. The background shows a sketchy interior space, possibly a room or a train carriage, with windows and indistinct elements visible.
