Full length portrait, turned three quarters to the right, of a woman seated in a rocking chair. Her right foot is on a stool and her right arm is about a baby who is lying on a pillow in her lap. She is reading from a book which she holds in her left hand. To her left is a stand on which are a tumbler and some books. The wall is in shadow behind her chair.
