A composition of a woman, seen to the right, wearing a green smock-like apron with a red-painted face holding/carrying two babies; one in her arms and the second sitting on her bottom which is exaggerated and protruding. A second woman, that appears to the left, holds a briefcase and leans over the baby held in the first woman's arms, seemingly to be kissing the baby. There is a quilt-like, patterned image behind them.
