Infancy is a 1793 ink by Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a woman sitting on a bench, holding a baby. The scene is set in a garden with trees and bushes. The woman is dressed in a long robe and has a gentle expression on her face. The painting is done in a romantic style, with soft colors and delicate lines. The artist has captured the intimacy of the moment, with the woman's focus on the baby. The background is subtle, with the trees and bushes blending into the distance. The painting is a beautiful example of romanticism, a movement that emphasized emotion and beauty.
