Mother

In a grey gown embroidered with scattered flowers, the lady sits on a red-upholstered chair and raises a naked infant, who reaches for her piled hair. To the left a second woman in a pink dress and white cap has knelt down, folding back the cover of a wicker cradle where another child lies. The tiered flounce of the skirt fills most of the base, with a red footstool at the chair leg.
