This warm and tender engraving by Samuel S. Smith, after a painting by Sir Charles Lock Eastlake, portrays a peaceful domestic moment within an Italian rural setting. A mother gently lowers a piece of fruit into a basket where her baby lies, while a young boy—presumably her son—watches with affectionate curiosity. Another woman, likely a family member, stands nearby holding a large basket of fruit, suggesting the rhythms of everyday life. The background features lush trees and stone architecture, adding depth and a sense of place. The scene radiates familial love, simplicity, and the timeless beauty of maternal care.
