The woman stands on a long flat white base encrusted with coloured foliage and flowers. She carries a brown cradle decorated with yellow tufts, which appears to be unsupported. In the cradle lies an infant holding to its mouth, with both hands, one corner of the white cloth in which it is wrapped, and which is sparsely decorated with red stars. At her right side stands a child whose left hand she holds, her own left hand being stretched over the cradle. In his right hand the child holds a brown stick. She wears a white lace cap, almost concealed by a black kerchief hanging down her back and knotted under her chin, a white chemise, a long yellow low-cut dress terminating in brown and white fur trimming, white stockings, and black shoes with red bows. Round her waist she wears a drab apron caught up under the cradle. The child is bare-headed, and wears a long blue coat open at the neck and trimmed with fur at the bottom, over a long maroon robe similarly trimmed, over green trousers and brown shoes. A muff of fur is slung round his waist by a black strap. title: figure group NOTES ----- type: history note value: Bought on 1 March 1934 from Frau Elfriede Langeloh, Cologne, for £75 by Cecil, 2nd Baron Fisher; Lord and Lady Fisher of Kilverstone.
