The Women's Hospital for Children

Gwendolen Raverat 1885 - 1957

Summary

This print seems quite stylised as it is represented through sharp, clear linework with no tonal gradation. On the left, seen in profile, there is a seated female figure wearing a robe with her head covered looking down at the child held in her lap. The child is nude and leaning forwards to drink from the bowl that is being held to its mouth by a man, also wearing robes, kneeling in front of the child. This scene is framed and beneath it is the inscription 'The women's hospital for children, 688 Harrow Road, London, W'.
