This etching depicts a woman and a child. The woman, with long hair, sits behind the child, who is lying down and looking up. The background is a mottled mix of light and dark shades. The woman's expression is calm, while the child appears to be smiling. The scene is rendered in a simple, yet expressive style, with bold lines and subtle shading.
