A Young Mother Carrying a Crib

Jacques Dumont Le Romain, finished by Jean Daullé

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a woman holding a cradle with a sleeping infant while a young boy stands next to her. The woman has her eyes closed and wears a bonnet, long dress, cloak, and sturdy shoes. The boy looks up at the woman, holding a stick. The setting is outdoors with rugged terrain, a worn-down building, and a cloudy sky in the background.
