Artist, British, 1867 - 1956

The image depicts a drawing of a baby in two different positions on textured paper. The baby is shown from the upper torso upwards, lying on its back with its head turned to the side. The facial features are delicate, with closed eyes, a small nose, and slightly open lips. The baby's hair is fine, and the drawing is in red and white chalk, showing the contours and shading. The baby is wrapped in a cloth, suggested with light sketching. There are no visible jewelry or objects. The background is the textured paper.
