A horizontally oriented photogravure in sepia tones depicts a woman with medium skin sitting in a forest. Facing left, she wears a dark headscarf and a patterned, fringed shawl. She cradles a baby swaddled in a decorated cradleboard against her chest. Soft light illuminates the pair against a blurred backdrop of vertical tree trunks. Text in the lower left reads "ASSINIBOIN MOTHER AND CHILD."
