Small Indian maternity of a mother painted from the front, holding her daughter close to her, hand in hand. The sketch of a large tropical plant completes the left side of the work.

Both have black braids decorated with ribbons. The mother, the only one treated in warm colours, is in the centre of the composition, serene and protective, with her eyes closed and a smile on her lips.

The strength of the maternal feeling is portrayed in a few brushstrokes in a generous nature.
