The Father's Leave-Taking

William Holman Hunt

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a black-and-white drawing of a woman and child. The woman sits on the floor with her knees bent and her back against a column. She wears a long dress with long sleeves. The woman holds a young child on her right hip with the child's right leg bent and resting on her right thigh. The child touches the woman's face with their right hand. The woman looks up at the child. The background includes a tiled floor with a rug or cloth on it, a hallway with a doorway and another column. The image is in a rectangular cutout in a piece of off-white paper.
