The image depicts three people standing in a room. A man in formal attire, including a suit, waistcoat, striped trousers, and a top hat, gestures with one hand while the other rests on his chest. A woman in a long dress and apron holds up a baby. The baby is dressed in a gown and looks toward the woman. In the background, there is furniture with a jug and a plate on a cabinet. The room is modestly decorated with curtains. The artwork is monochromatic and signed at the bottom.
