An Anxious Hour

About this work

In this painting, a woman sits beside a bed where a child lies, looking up at her with concern. The woman wears a red shawl and a dark dress, while the child is dressed in a white shirt. The bed has a green table beside it, holding a plate with food. The room is dimly lit, with shadows cast on the wall behind the bed. The atmosphere is one of quiet concern, as the woman tends to the child. This scene is reminiscent of the works of Alexander Farmer, who often depicted everyday life in his paintings.
