Mother and Child

Heinrich Nauen

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a sketch of a woman and a baby. The woman is shown in a partial profile view with her head turned slightly towards the viewer. Her facial features are outlined, including a long nose, pronounced lips, and deeply set eyes. Her long flowing hair is visible. The baby, held closely to the woman, is facing the viewer with round eyes and delicate features. The woman's arms and slender fingers holding the baby are visible. There are no clothing details in the sketch. The background is plain, emphasizing the figures.
