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.
