The image shows a seated woman with a child on her lap amidst a pastoral scene. The woman is leaning slightly back, supported by her right arm, with her head turned to the left. She has a calm expression, with defined facial features and hair covered by a headscarf. The child is looking downwards. Several sheep are depicted around them in varying positions, grazing and resting. Behind them, a man is seen harvesting with a scythe. The backdrop consists of open fields and hills under a clear sky.
