Photograph of half length portrait of Ruth Roche, Baroness Fermoy (1908-93) standing, holding her daughter Mary Cynthia Roche (b.1934). The sitters face halfway to the left and gaze ahead, away from the camera. Baroness Fermoy holds her daughter beside her head, so that their heads touch. Her daughter leans against her chest. Baroness Fermoy wears a pearl necklace and a dark colour dress with a shiny neckline. Her daughter is dressed in a light colour gown trimmed with lace.

The photograph is signed and dated by Baroness Fermoy. The mount is signed by the photographer.
