The woman's facial features are delicately outlined, and she has her hair styled in a bun. She wears a long-sleeved dress with a patterned neckline. The child has a fringe haircut and wears a dark dress with a light collar. The woman holds a small object, possibly a book, angled towards the child. They are in front of a shaded window with decorative drapery on either side.
