A small brooch is pinned at her throat. Her feet rest on a small upholstered footstool. Her right arm is around a young child who stands beside her, holding her left hand in his right hand. He wears a smock, pantalets, and striped socks. The man is seated in an armchair at the right. He has a beard and is wearing a coat, pants, shirt and necktie, and eyeglasses.
