Peasant Mother and Child

Amerikanische Grafik 1893–1901, c. 1894

The image shows two figures, a woman and a young child, visible from the waist up. The woman is sitting and the child is on her lap, leaning towards her. The woman's head is turned to the side with her hair pulled back in a bun. She wears a high-necked dress with puffed sleeves. The child has short, straight hair and round cheeks, wearing a long-sleeved garment resembling a nightgown. The child's face is tilted towards the woman, with a hand reaching out to touch her. There are no visible accessories or objects. The background is a simple, pale backdrop.
