Silk over linen fabric ground, silk floss, worsted wool yarn, Merino wool yarn and oil paint.

The design comes from a mezzotint after John Hoppner made in the 1790s. John Hoppner specialized in painting mothers and children. The picture depicts a large standing female figure dressed in a white dress and wearing a turban. She stands by two classical columns with her four children in front of her. The youngest child is sitting on the ground playing with her red shoe in her hands with a tambourine by her side. Her elder sister stands behind her. Both girls are dressed in Empire-style muslin dresses with a low neckline and puffed sleeves and high waist. Her two brothers Stand to one side, each dressed in a skeleton suit with red shirts with wide white frilly collars. Wrapped around the columns is a wide red fabric tied to them by cord. The branches of a large leafy tree fill in behind.
