Description
A mother looks down tenderly at her infant, cradling the swaddled baby against her chest as it nurses. Her loose blue jacket falls open at the shoulder, and the baby is wrapped in soft white and pink cloth that fills most of her lap, its small pink foot just peeking out at the hem.
Renoir paints mother and child in warm, rounded strokes, the woman’s dark hair pulled simply back and her face lit with a soft, private tenderness as she gazes down. Behind her, a mottled olive-green wall and the red upholstered arm of a chair frame the pair without competing with them, keeping every bit of warmth concentrated on the intimacy of the embrace.
Held at the National Galleries of Scotland, this 1894 depiction of maternal tenderness is available as a wall art reproduction. A Woman Nursing a Child can be printed on museum-quality canvas in a range of sizes, made to order and shipped worldwide.
