The image depicts two figures. The woman is sitting, with one knee bent and the other foot on the ground. She has delicate facial features and curly hair styled back. She is wearing a flowing garment that leaves one shoulder exposed. The child stands beside her, reaching towards her with one hand holding a bundle of wheat. The child is unclothed. The woman holds a sickle in her right hand. The background is simple and circular, with decorative borders.
