Artist's Wife and Child

Hi everyone, I'm Isabella! Today, we're going to look at a drawing called "Artist's Wife and Child." It's right over here! nn This drawing is special because it shows us a little bit of what life was like for families a long time ago. What do you see in the drawing? nn That's right! It shows a mother and her baby. The mother is looking down, and the baby is sleeping soundly in a cozy bed with a cover over it. Do you think the baby is having sweet dreams? nn The artist used a pencil to make this drawing. See how some lines are darker than others? That's called shading, and it makes the picture look more real. nn Let's pretend we're peeking into this family's home a long time ago. What do you think they might do all day?
