I don't know if this is the most efficient query, but it works for me:

with recursive inh as (

select i.inhrelid, null::text as parent
from pg_catalog.pg_inherits i
join pg_catalog.pg_class cl on i.inhparent = cl.oid
join pg_catalog.pg_namespace nsp on cl.relnamespace = nsp.oid
where nsp.nspname = 'public' ---<< change table schema here
and cl.relname = 'the_table_name' ---<< change table name here

union all

select i.inhrelid, (i.inhparent::regclass)::text
from inh
join pg_catalog.pg_inherits i on (inh.inhrelid = i.inhparent)
)
select c.relname as partition_name,
n.nspname as partition_schema,
pg_get_expr(c.relpartbound, c.oid, true) as partition_expression,
pg_get_expr(p.partexprs, c.oid, true) as sub_partition,
parent,
case p.partstrat
when 'l' then 'LIST'
when 'r' then 'RANGE'
end as sub_partition_strategy
from inh
join pg_catalog.pg_class c on inh.inhrelid = c.oid
join pg_catalog.pg_namespace n on c.relnamespace = n.oid
left join pg_partitioned_table p on p.partrelid = c.oid
order by n.nspname, c.relname
