A vertically oriented lithograph in black ink depicts a large, rounded figure with a light skin tone leaning over a child. The figure's head is bowed as oversized hands frame the child's face. Both appear disproportionately large, with bulbous forms defined by deep shadows and grainy textures. At the bottom left, a large bare foot is visible. Fine lines shade in details against a dark background, while light illuminates the child's features.
