About this work

A woman in dark clothes sits outside, watching a baby sleep in a wooden cradle. Behind her, a village stretches up a hillside with small houses and a few trees. The sky is bright blue, and distant mountains fade into the horizon. The baby’s striped shirt stands out against the warm wood of the cradle. The woman’s hands rest gently on the edge, her face calm and focused. Look up cradl to see how these simple wooden beds were used in many cultures.
