Description
A woman in a pale blue-grey striped kimono stands in three-quarter view, cradling a swaddled infant wrapped in a cream cloth tied with a green cord; both figures gaze downward toward each other. Her hair is styled in a dark upswept knot with a mottled grey-green ornament, and behind her a patterned screen or sliding door in tan tones with a scattered floral and cloud motif fills the right side of the composition, set against a plain beige ground. *Mother and Child*, Uemura Shoen, 1934, color on silk, framed.
