Image description
The artwork depicts a seated woman, shown from the upper body to her feet, nursing a baby. She is positioned slightly turned to the right, looking down at the child in her arms. Her hair is dark and styled, and she wears a lavender blouse over a cream-colored garment. The baby, dressed in a white outfit, is cradled in her arms. A red chair supports her, and a small footstool is beneath her feet. To her left, a small table holds an apple and some other items. The background is filled with yellow and green foliage.
