DescriptionA woman reclines on a grassy bank at the foot of a large tree. She wears an apron over a dress with balloon sleeves and a large collar with lace or eyelet trim. Two young children are with her. The older child, apparently a girl, lies asleep with her head in the woman's lap. The younger child leans over the woman's shoulder and kisses her on the cheek. Trees and bushes are in the left background.
