The painting depicts a woman sitting on a bed, cradling a baby in her arms. The bed is adorned with a striped blanket and a floral pillow. The woman wears a white robe, and the baby is swaddled in white cloth. In the background, a pink-framed mirror hangs on the wall, surrounded by a plant with long, thin branches. The painting features muted colors, with shades of pink, green, and yellow. The overall atmosphere is one of serenity and intimacy. This painting is reminiscent of the work of artist Vuillard, Edouard.
