Woman, a baby and a young girl

A woman in a red and cream kimono holds a baby against her shoulder while a young girl in a black patterned robe kneels at lower right, gazing upward. Both figures stand on a low wooden platform before a gold-speckled background, painted in ink, color and gold on silk as a hanging scroll.
