Finished editorial illustration, 3:2 landscape. Seen from behind, a mother and young daughter stand together left of centre, facing the same direction. The mother has a tall, elongated pear-shaped silhouette, a tiny dark bun and an ochre coat; the daughter has a squat rounded silhouette, a blunt bob and a teal coat. The mother raises one simple mitten-like hand on the shaft of an absurdly broad coral umbrella, caught halfway open with a gently scalloped, slightly drooping canopy. The daughter rises onto tiptoe in delighted anticipation. Loose hand-drawn marker contours and broad flat colour fills; sparse oversized stitch-like dashes along garment and umbrella edges give a textile-inspired finish. Warm cream paper with faint toasted-ochre grain, one short ground stroke, generous empty space on the right. Clear thumbnail silhouettes, no intricate stitching, hatching or detailed fingers. One shared moment, no other people or props. No text, logos or watermarks.
