Lady with a baby in her arms and a child at her side is a 1755 watercolor by Benjamin West, a Rococo painting work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows two figures walking side by side. The person on the left wears a wide-brimmed hat and a long, flowing coat with a light blue-green tint. Their face is blurred, and they hold a baby in their arms. The person on the right, a child, wears a dark hat and a simple coat, with one hand resting on their head. The artist used quick, loose strokes to capture movement and mood. The watercolor looks sketchy, almost like a hurried note rather than a polished work.
