This print shows a woman holding two children in a grassy field. The woman wears a long dress and a halo, while the kids—one holding a stick—are barefoot. Behind them, a small town sits by a lake under a cloudy sky. The woman is often called the Virgin Mary, and the kids are likely Jesus and John the Baptist. This image follows a common religious scene from that time. Look up Chereau, Jacques to see more of his work.
