This photograph depicts a sculpture of a woman and a child. The woman is seated, wearing a dress with short sleeves, and has her right arm wrapped around the child. The child is standing, facing the woman, and is nude except for a cloth draped over their left shoulder. The woman and child are kissing, and the woman's left hand is resting on the child's right leg. The sculpture is rendered in a light color, possibly marble or plaster, and is set against a dark background. The overall effect is one of tenderness and intimacy.
