The image is a black and white drawing of a woman and a baby, both visible from the waist up. The woman is holding the baby in her arms. The woman has a long, narrow face, prominent eyes, and shoulder-length hair peeking out from under a wide-brimmed hat. She wears a striped top with a coat. The baby has a small face and is dressed in a cap and a warm outfit. The background is textured and abstract, with dark, uneven shading.
