Mother's Happiness is a 1896 oil by Léon Bazille Perrault, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp.
This painting shows a woman in a red dress holding a naked baby. She sits on a chair with a colorful blanket. The woman has her eyes closed and a gentle expression. A little girl with a blue bow in her hair stands behind the woman, kissing her cheek. The woman's arms are wrapped around the baby, and her hands are clasped together. The background is a plain wall. The woman's face is serene, and the little girl's kiss adds a sense of warmth to the scene. The artist has used soft brushstrokes to create a sense of intimacy and tenderness.
