A vertically oriented woodblock print depicts a woman with light skin tone, facing our right, looking down at a baby she holds. Her black hair is styled in a large bun with several pins and a red ornament. She wears a light-colored robe with a dark collar, open to reveal one breast. The infant is wrapped in peach-colored fabric. Japanese calligraphy and a red seal occupy the right against a neutral background.
