Unidentified artist

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Colored painting of a scene with a woman holding a child and a nurse. The woman on the left wears a light-colored top with long, flowing skirt in blue and white. She holds a baby with a red garment. The person on the right appears to be a nurse wearing a light blue top with pink skirt. The background features a room with blue wallpaper, a low table, and two windows on either side. The windows have intricate carvings. The right window looks out onto a forested scene; the left window looks out onto a garden scene with flowers and a red bird. The painting features a decorative carved border at the top and bottom. The painting appears to be on aged paper with a black background behind it.
