The Virgin and Child

William Adolphe Bouguereau

Cleveland Museum of Art

Brown paper with a sketch of a woman and child. The woman wears a headscarf and a long dress. She sits and looks down at the child in her lap. The child is bare-chested. The woman's left hand supports the child's back and her right hand is near the child's face. The drawing is in shades of gray. The artist's signature is in the lower-left corner. A small sketch of two people is in the upper-right corner. The edges of the paper are rough.
