Mother and Child

Pierre-Auguste Renoir

Cleveland Museum of Art

A pencil drawing on paper of an adult woman holding a toddler, both with their heads tilted. The woman's head is turned down and to the right with her eyes closed, her wavy hair parted down the middle. The child faces left with their head resting on the woman's shoulder and cheek. The woman wears a high necked garment with folds around the neck. The background is light gray with darker shading around the figures. The frame around the drawing is slightly darker with indented lines along the edges.
