Amour Augustin Bonnet Breastfeeding Legrand Linen Maternal Shawl Tenderness Tendresse
EDITORS COMMENTS
This beautiful hand-colored copperplate engraving, titled "Mother Breastfeeding Her Child on Her Lap," is an exquisite depiction of the tender moment shared between a mother and her infant from Augustin Legrand's "Amour et Tendresse" (Love and Tenderness) series, published by Louis Janet in Paris in 1820. The image captures the intimacy and bond between the mother and child as they sit in a cozy, sunlit room. The mother, dressed in a high-waisted, empire-line dress, wears a fashionable bonnet adorned with a ribbon and a shawl draped over her shoulders, providing warmth and comfort to both herself and her baby. The mother cradles her child in her lap, supporting his head with one hand while breastfeeding him with the other. A basket filled with linen and other necessities sits nearby, suggesting that this is not just a moment of nourishment but also a moment of practicality. The intricate details of the engraving, from the delicate folds of the mother's dress to the baby's tiny fingers, showcase the skillful artistry of the engraver. This image is a testament to the deep love and tenderness between a mother and her child, a sentiment that transcends time and continues to be cherished today.
