The image is a vintage, hand-drawn illustration with a distinctly primitive style. It depicts two figures: a tall, slender woman and a small child. The woman is entirely covered in dense, short lines, giving the impression of being 'hairy' as the caption suggests. Her features are simple, with almond-shaped eyes and a small mouth. She stands upright, facing forward, with her arms at her sides. The child is much smaller and appears to be walking towards the woman. Like the woman, the child is also covered in short lines, though less densely. The drawing is framed by a decorative border of floral and leaf patterns. The background is a faded, aged paper color. Below the illustration is a caption in old-fashioned script: 'The Effigies of a Maid all Hairy, and an Infant that was born Black, by the Imagination of the Parents.' The overall aesthetic is reminiscent of an old woodcut or etching, with a grainy texture and limited detail.
