Description: | An elderly lady, possibly a nurse or nanny, gently takes the tiny hand of the small child who stands in front of her. The child clutches her doll tightly whilst they engage in conversation. The aged lady, looking tired, pauses from her work spinning thread. The scenery in the background seems far too grand to be the home of an average working family of the day, with luxurious blue and gold fabric, ornate furiniture and the child's dress appears expensive.
