About this work

This lithograph, created in 1945 by Charles White, presents a poignant scene. A man, dressed in a dark jacket over a light shirt, cradles a baby in his arms, gazing out the window with a somber expression. The baby, wrapped in a blanket, lies on its back, looking up at the man with its eyes closed. In the background, a window with dark wood framing reveals a serene landscape of a cloudy sky and a barren tree. The man's facial features are rendered in a realistic style, while the baby's face is more stylized. The overall mood of the piece is one of quiet contemplation, inviting the viewer to reflect on the tender moment captured. To explore more works by Charles White, visit The Museum of Modern Art.
