William Leroy Jacobs

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a drawing of a woman holding a baby and a white cat in a living room. The woman wears a long, dark dress and has her hair in a bun; she is standing, facing right. She holds up a crying baby with a white cloth. To the right, a man sits in a chair; he wears a suit and tie. A woman with a tray and a girl with a bowl are nearby. To the left, a woman stands next to a chair; she wears a light-colored dress. A dog lies on the floor. The room has a patterned rug, a table with a birdcage and globe, a hanging light fixture, and framed pictures on the walls. The drawing is monochromatic, with shades of brown.
