Depicting a touching moment between mother and child, Renoir creates a scene filled with a sense of love and dedication. The mother holds her child and gazes down at him in adoration. The child appears safe and content in his mother's arms, as if shielded from the cruelties of the outside world. Renoir utilizes soft swirling strokes and subtle tonal gradations to depict this mother and child. The two figures remain distinct from the background, yet the outlines of their figures appear to seamlessly merge with the strokes of the background, creating an overall cohesive work.

Created circa 1912, this work is from the second and final state, from the edition of 200. The piece is signed 'Renoir' in the stone in the lower right of the composition.
