Motherhood (18th-Century Style)

Seated in profile on a wicker chair, the lady steadies a small boy standing on her knee. In a blue shirt, he throws his right arm up and looks into her face. Her pink gown is painted with scattered bouquets, lace set at the collar and cuffs, the hem running into a wide net flounce edged in gold. Her hair is dressed over a high roll, and a green footstool sits at the edge of the base.
