This painting shows a woman sitting in a chair, breastfeeding a baby. She's wearing a white dress with a floral pattern and a red ribbon around her neck. A man in a yellow coat is standing behind her, looking at her. Another woman is standing on the other side of the room, holding a plate. There's a screen with flowers on it behind them. The woman breastfeeding the baby is the main focus of the painting. The man in the yellow coat seems to be trying to get her attention, but she's not looking at him.
