hotsell This is an antique engraving with a copyright date of 1888. It show a woman sleeping. Two children are in the foreground. One is dressed and is probably a real child. The other is undressed, and is probably a cherub or a putti, or maybe a cupid, since there are arrows on the fabric between the two children.
