About this work

This painting shows a woman sitting on the grass, breastfeeding a baby. She wears a red cardigan and blue skirt, and her hair is tied back. The baby is wrapped in a yellow cloth. To her right, a tree stands tall, and in the background, a body of water stretches out under a blue sky with white clouds. In the foreground, two figures sit on the grass, while another stands behind the breastfeeding woman. The overall mood of the painting is serene and peaceful.
