baby cries and sitter

 

This document is an oil painting and it is untitled baby cries & sitter. The document is taken from the magazine Saturday Evening post. The painting deals with the children education.

May be the scene takes place in the baby’s bedroom. The characters are a baby and his sitter. There are many light colours especially the blue, withe and yellow colours. On the floor there are toys, a book, a broken lollipop and a feeding bottle full of milk. The child wears clean, yellow and rich clothes, and beautiful shoes whereas the sitter wears an uniform composed of a blue dress, a white apron, a white headdress and long black boots.

In the foreground the baby is crying. In the tope right-hand corner we can see the sitter who seems desperated, she looks right to the sky.

We can notice that the baby has many things but he is crying so we can supopose that he was most spoiled or he want the only one he hasn’t got : his parents. Maybe the sitter have just made everything to calm the baby unfortunatly, because she looks so desperated.

The sitter wishes he would be aware of how lucky he is.

The artist criticizes the parents or absence of them. They would have spoiled their children and they miss him.
