The image displays two figures in a side profile view: a woman bending towards a child. The woman's face is not visible due to the angle, with her hair styled up or covered. She wears a knee-length dress and flat shoes. The child, facing the woman, has short hair and a simple face, holding a finger to their mouth. They wear a one-piece garment and small shoes. The woman carries a basket with draped fabric or produce. The background is plain with a lightly textured ground.
