The image shows two people, a woman and a young boy, depicted in full-body view. The woman is standing in profile, facing the boy, who is standing directly in front of her. The woman has her hair styled under a large bonnet and is wearing a long dress with long sleeves and a fitted bodice. The boy has short hair and is dressed in a coat with knee-length breeches and stockings, holding a hat in one hand. The room they occupy appears to be a bedroom with a high bed draped with a curtain in the background. There is a table with an iron on a piece of fabric and a chair nearby. The furniture in the room includes a dresser with an open drawer and a cabinet with open doors, revealing a few items on top, including a bust and a bowl. The setting has a window on the right side, allowing light into the room.
