Woman in a dark robe stands beside a child in red near a peacock on a rock, under a leafy tree.

Mother with Sons Playing Music

A woman in a dark blue-green robe with a patterned sash stands beside a small child in red and orange who kneels near a peacock perched on a rock. A leafy tree and a carved railing frame them against pale paper, with pine sprigs at the lower right.

Look closer: Sprigs of pine grow in the lower right corner, partly hidden by the grass.
