Painting of a woman with orange hair in a green dress seated in a red chair, hands clasped over a rope, before a dark green backdrop with white and pink flowers.

La Berceuse (Woman Rocking a Cradle; Augustine-Alix Pellicot Roulin, 1851–1930)

A woman with auburn hair, dressed in a dark green jacket and green skirt, sits in a red-armed wooden chair, hands clasped over a looping rope. Behind her, white and pink flowers and swirling vine patterns fill a dark green patterned backdrop. Thick, visible brushstrokes and bold, flat color define the oil painting.
