Heavily stylized colored markers illustration of a voluptuous woman in a white dress with blue flowers, her hair tied in a red bandana, bent almost 90 degrees over her son, a chubby boy in baggy trousers, as he hugs her legs and cries. There is a bangle around the woman's ankle. She is clearly comforting her son but there is a slightly annoyed look on her face. The colors used in this illustration are white, black, red, and blue.
