A stone sculpture depicting a seated woman with a child on her lap. The woman has a serene expression, and her hair is styled in a bob cut. She holds the child securely with her left arm. The child, also with a calm expression, appears to be standing on the woman's right thigh, embracing her with one arm. The background is a neutral gray, and the sculpture is placed on a flat surface.
