Papa, Carry Me—Take Me Up in Your Arms

William Glackens

National Gallery of Art

The image is a sketch of a group of people. In the center, there is an adult male and female, with the man wearing a tall top hat and a buttoned-up coat, and the woman wearing a bonnet and an elegant dress, holding a child. Other adults and children around them are also dressed in formal attire. Some figures appear in jovial poses, with activities like standing or chatting. The background shows an impressionistic natural setting with trees and leaves.
