The woman has wavy hair tied back in a chignon and she is wearing a striped light cotton dress with a high standing collar and a separate gathered band from shoulder to waist. The bodice is front fastening with buttons and buttonholes down the centre front and narrow long sleeves. The baby is cradled in her arms and wearing a very long white gown with a frilled collar. There is a plant to the left of the frame and the woman is seated on a wide chair.
