Artist, French, 1867 - 1947

The image depicts three individuals: a baby and two adults. The baby is in the foreground, facing slightly left, nestled in white drapery with minimal facial features. One adult on the right bends forward, with their face in profile and stylized hair in a bun. They wear a garment with a geometric pattern of red squares and green cross-hatching. Above the baby, another adult is partially visible, leaned forward and looking towards the baby. The background is a flat, bright green with brown and green leaf-like shapes. The image features a limited color palette and stylized forms.
