The tintype features a woman seated in a chair in what appears to be a studio. The seated woman is wearing a long skirt with a high collared undershirt and jacket on top. The woman has her arms laying crossed on her lap, her right on top of her left. A child stands on the left of the seated woman, with her right hand placed on the seated woman’s arm and her left arm by her side. The child is wearing a striped dress with a long undershirt underneath. Her neck seems to be covered by a collar, or a knotted scarf. Both the woman and the child have their hair neatly combed back and up. There is slight deterioration on the edges of the photograph and dark spots scattered across the photograph.
