Description:

Anonymous (probably European, IXX century). Woman and Child in a Tender Moment. Oil on canvas, n.d. An endearing painting depicting a mother holding the hands of her daughter as she teaches her to sew. Tenderly grasping the child's arms, the woman gazes over her shoulder, gently guiding the girl's hands as she learns the motions. The mother is dressed in a voluminous violet dress and a striped shawl, while the girl wears a knee-length frock and apron. The scene is split between the domestic interior of a country cottage and the rustic, rolling hills of the outdoors. A cat lays on a woven mat beside the mother's feet. A charming composition, mounted in an elaborate wooden frame with a suspension wire on verso for display. Size of painting: 18.25" W x 23.25" H (46.4 cm x 59.1 cm); of frame: 24" W x 29" H (61 cm x 73.7 cm)
