This is a black and white illustration of a French woman and child. The woman is tall and slender, wearing a long, dark dress with a striped pattern at the hem. She has a patterned hat on her head and is wearing dark shoes. The child is much smaller, also dressed in a dark, striped outfit with shoes. Both figures are standing and facing forward. The background is a simple, light-colored ground with a few small plants. The style of the illustration is reminiscent of a historical drawing or engraving.
