Mother and Child is a 1848 oil by Sturtevant J. Hamblin, a Realism work, held at Museum of Fine Arts Boston.
This portrait features a woman and a baby, both with dark hair. The woman is dressed in a black dress with a silver necklace, while the baby wears a white dress and holds a white rattle. The background is a brown curtain, with a small painting of a tree and a bird on the left side. The woman's expression is serious, and the baby looks directly at the viewer. The overall atmosphere of the painting is somber and intimate. For more information on the artist's use of chiaroscuro, look up Sturtevant J. Hamblin.
