A vertically oriented etching in black ink depicts a woman and child. The woman's head, detailed with fine, wavy lines, tilts down toward the child in the foreground. Her eyes are downcast, shaded by delicate hatching. The child faces right, their closed eyes and small hand rendered with minimal linework. Streaking, cross-hatched lines define the forms against a sparse background, where the white of the paper highlights the subjects' light skin tones.
