At centre of image is a woman stooping to embrace a small boy. The woman stands facing left. She has dark curly hair and wears a soft hat with a brim and feathers. She also wears a floor-length white dress, and a dark loose-weave shawl hangs down her back from her right shoulder. She bends forwards at the waist and embraces a boy who stands facing her, his right arm around her neck. The boy has medium-length curly hair and wears a dark jacket and shorts, black shoes and grey socks. His face is raised towards his mother's face and she kisses his left cheek. Behind them is a wooden gate with a ball finial at left. On the gate is written: "House School". There is a tree behind the gate, at right, and the leaves of a plant are in front of the gate at far right.
