About the piece

Created in 1879 by A. Tenorio, this realist oil painting depicts a young woman in traditional European peasant dress watching over a sleeping infant. The composition is defined by a gentle play of light and shadow, highlighting the textures of the woven cradle and the woman's white linen sleeves, creating an atmosphere of quiet, restful warmth.
