A pictorial-style bookplate in black ink on ivory paper with a line border, featuring a drawing of a woman and child in profile. The woman is wearing a patterned dress and has her hair covered with a simple bonnet. She is pursing her lips and holding the child's face in her hands, as if she is about to kiss them. The child is seated on an object draped with cloth, and is wearing a simple shift, with their hands on the woman's wrist. Inset is the text "Ex libris Yzaura de Sousa." There is an illegible signature beneath.
