Mother and Child is a 1852 unspecified by Charles West Cope, a British Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
In this painting, a woman cradles a baby in her arms, both dressed in white. The woman's long, curly hair is tied back, and she wears a blue ribbon around her wrist. The baby, with short blonde hair, is wrapped in a white blanket with a red ribbon around its neck. The woman gently touches the baby's face with her right hand. The background of the painting is dark, with a red chair visible behind the woman. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of tenderness and intimacy.
