Lady and Child is a 1745 oil by Stephen Slaughter, a Rococo painting work, held at National Gallery of Ireland.
This painting depicts a woman and a young girl, both dressed in white, sitting together in front of a backdrop of foliage. The woman, positioned on the right, wears a long, flowing gown with a floral pattern on her chest, while the girl, seated on her lap, has a similar yet simpler dress with a floral design. The woman's attire features a subtle sheen, suggesting the use of oil paint. The overall atmosphere of the painting exudes a sense of elegance and refinement.
