Artist, American, 1952 - 1996

The image shows two individuals: a woman and a child seated. The woman sits on a bed with the child's head resting on her lap. The woman has long, dark hair and a calm expression, wearing a light-colored dress with floral embroidery. The child, facing the camera, has shorter, light-colored hair and looks relaxed in a light top and covered by a blanket. In the background is a plain wall with the words "SHARON T." and "Bob" written on it, and a bedpost is visible to the right. Light appears to be coming from the right side, casting shadows on the wall and bed, creating a simple and intimate atmosphere.
