About this work

This print shows three figures in a dim, shadowy scene. A woman in a cloak kneels, holding a small child who reaches toward another woman standing beside her. The standing woman wears flowing robes and holds a scroll. Dark trees and a faint landscape blur in the background. The print was made to honor a noble family, as the text at the bottom says. The artist signed it "Caroline Watson," and it’s based on a painting from a private collection. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more prints like this.
