Oil painting of a woman in a striped headscarf holding a limp child, beside a shaggy St Bernard dog with a barrel on its neck, with mountains behind.

Een sint-bernardshond komt een verdwaalde vrouw met een ziek kind te hulp

A large dog with a shaggy coat and a small barrel slung at its neck sits beside a woman in a striped headscarf and dark bodice, who gestures toward the animal while cradling a limp child in a red skirt. Behind them, a rocky slope rises toward snowy mountains under a pale, cloudy sky, in an oil painting.

Español: Perro San Bernardo auxiliando a una mujer con un niño enfermo

Un perro grande de pelaje lanoso, con un pequeño barril atado al cuello, se sienta junto a una mujer con pañuelo a rayas y corpiño oscuro, que señala al animal mientras sostiene en brazos a un niño inerte con falda roja. Detrás, una ladera rocosa se eleva hacia montañas nevadas bajo un cielo pálido y nublado, en una pintura al óleo.
