Full length portrait of a seated woman with a child at her breast. She is turned slightly to the left. One of her feet is on a stool, and her right arm is around the baby, who lies on a pillow in her lap. A vase stands on a shelf near the window which is in the upper left corner of the plate. The light falls from the front, leaving the woman's face and the background in shadow. There is a rug on the floor. ( A replica in Dry-point accompanies the above etching signed, J. Alden Weir, in left hand corner as well as J.A.W. toward lower left. No specifc description seems to be available. )
