This painting shows a peasant woman sitting on the ground with a sleeping child on her back. She wears a long dress and a hat, and has a bag in her hands. The child is wrapped in a cloth and has a ball in its hand. The woman is looking down, and the child's head is resting on her shoulder. The woman's clothing and the style of the painting suggest a rural or peasant setting. The artist has used a range of tones and textures to create a sense of depth and atmosphere in the painting. This painting is reminiscent of the works of Londonio, Francesco.
