Genre Drawings from the Armand Hammer Collection

The image depicts a woman standing on the left side, facing slightly towards the left with one hand outstretched towards a child standing next to her. A dog is also present. The woman is wearing a long dress and a hat. On the right side, multiple people are gathered around a bed. Two women are seated on the bed, one holding a baby. Another child and an adult male are leaning on the bed, while another figure stands in the background holding a child. The background appears to be indoors, with a large piece of furniture casting shadows.
