A fashionably dressed woman sits (left) in profile, in an upright chair, while a carriage waits for her as seen through the window of the well-appointed sitting room. Her loose dress, high to the neck, has two embroidered slits to reveal the breasts. A pretty, buxom nurse holds out an infant, who eagerly sucks the breast thus conveniently laid bare. She wears a turban with two erect feathers, and short sleeves; her gloved right hand holds a closed fan. On the wall behind her is a large picture, 'Maternal Love': a seated woman suckles an infant. Through a high sash-window is seen a corner of the waiting coach, a footman holding open the door, a fat coachman on the box. The coach, hammer-cloth, and the lady's chair are decorated with a baron's coronet. A patterned carpet covers the floor

The father, seated on a chair set in front of a fireplace, lifts a small child. The mother is seated to his right, holding the hand of one of child while a third plays a drum set on chair. An old man leans on the chair that holds the drum, a bed visible behind him, while at his feet lies a game bag containing a rabbit. On the mantlepiece a cat sleeps beside a lantern
