Painting of a dark-haired woman with closed eyes holding a sleeping child in white, wrapped in a green shawl, against a stone wall.

L'enfant blessé

A young woman with dark hair and closed eyes leans her head against a small child wrapped in a white garment, drawing the child close beneath a green shawl. Set against a pale stone wall, the oil painting uses soft, warm tones and loose brushwork to convey tenderness and quiet fatigue.
