This magnificent and statuesque woman sits
proudly and contentedly, confidently holding her
child on her arm. Her scarred arms, placed in a
relaxed position in front of her, give her stability
and a matron formality about her. She shows the
signs of happiness in her face with partially
closed eyes and a mouth that has been opened
gently to reveal her small teeth. The child that
she is carrying is delicately portrayed, clutching
the mother for reassurance, while closing its
eyes, as if to fall gently to sleep. The head of the
child is protected carefully with a blanket or
cloth, while the rest of the body is nude. Such a
blissful scene is a rare beauty to behold, the
relationship between mother and child, which
brings out the maternal instinct in us all.
