An older woman is depicted from her head to approximately her knees, standing slightly bent forward with her arms extended outward, palms open and facing upward. Her facial features appear aged, with prominent lines, and her hair is pulled back. She is dressed in a long garment. In front of her, a small child is partially visible, with only the upper half of their body exposed, looking forward. The background is plain.
