Nursing Woman with Child

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a wooden sculpture titled "Nursing Woman with Child" by an unknown artist. The sculpture is of a seated woman with a child on her lap. The woman has a long neck, and her head is carved with short hair and a closed mouth. Her facial features include small eyes, and she has a small nose. The woman's body is rendered in a stylized form with geometric shapes. Her right arm is bent at the elbow with the hand resting on her knee, and her left arm supports the child. The woman has a patterned texture on her upper right arm and forearm. She wears a bracelet on her left wrist. The child on her lap is also carved with a large head, small eyes, and a closed mouth. The child's left leg is bent and tucked under their body, while the right leg is stretched out. The sculpture sits on a four-legged stool. The background of the image is a gradient gray. The overall color of the sculpture is light brown with darker brown accents. The sculpture appears to be made of wood and has a weathered appearance.
