About this work

This painted sketch shows a mythological scene set beneath a tree, with a seated figure cradling a nude infant while women in flowing drapery attend to them, one holding a shallow basin. A draped female figure stands at the upper center, and a large bird with outstretched wings appears in the clouds at the right.
