Una mujer con vestido oscuro y chal rojo sostiene a un bebé en la cadera, mientras una niña descalza con chal gris está de pie al frente y otra mujer con un niño se sienta detrás de una canasta de mimbre con flores variadas. Pintada al óleo con pincelada suelta y cálida, la escena se sitúa frente a una pared clara y una farola oscura de hierro.
