Arsène Carriere

Eugène Carriere

National Gallery of Art

This image shows a young baby from head to toe. The baby is upright, possibly seated or reclined, with soft, rounded features, rosy cheeks, small eyes, and a slight smile. The hair is sparse and light-colored. The baby is dressed in a light-colored garment with red accents on the feet, likely the tops of booties or socks. The baby is holding a silver object attached to a ribbon or string in one hand, possibly a rattle. The background is dark with some red tones, offering a contrast with the light clothing. The artist's name, "Eugène Carrière," is visible in the upper left corner as a signature.
