Title |
Woman Reading Prayers with Child |
Description |
This painting by artist Louis Land depicts the personal exchange between mother and daughter while reading daily prayers. The mother gazes lovingly down toward the rosy cheeked child as she looks back in admiration. Set into the dark, wood-paneled interior of a Victorian home, both wearing elegant dresses, it is evident that they are of the upper class. |
