Flathead woman with child is a 1848 oil by Paul Kane, depicting Toddler, held at Montreal Museum of Fine Arts.
The painting shows a woman with a child. The woman has long dark hair and wears a brown dress. She holds the child, who is wrapped in a white cloth and wears colorful beads around their neck. The background is dark, with trees and a cloudy sky visible. The woman's face is calm, and she looks down at the child. The child's face is not visible, but their body is relaxed in the woman's arms. The overall mood of the painting is peaceful. This painting is reminiscent of the work of Paul Kane, who often depicted everyday life and landscapes in his art.
Paul Kane (September 3, 1810 – February 20, 1871) was an Irish-born Canadian painter whose paintings and especially field sketches were known as one of the first visual documents of Western indigenous life.
