The image shows a line drawing of two figures: an adult and a child. The adult is seated upright with an angular face, pronounced cheekbones, and shoulder-length hair. She wears a long-sleeved top with patterns. The child sits in front, wearing a dress with puffed sleeves and a hat. The child looks forward, legs hanging down. The setting includes a chair and an object resembling a picture frame in the background.
