This painting shows three actresses in old-fashioned costumes, one holding a baby. Their faces look worried, like they're in trouble. The play they're in is set in a Christian Rome. The baby is supposed to be pure, but the women seem unsure. Gavarni often drew theater life like this. Check out more of Paul Gavarni’s work at the Cleveland Museum of Art.
