This picture, made in the domestic genre, depicts a child, which is considered a precious and priceless gift for a woman, and the process of bringing it to adulthood. The artist has shown that the mother is awake not only during the day, but also at night, and that the spring of her love is constantly "chirping" for the peace of her child. It's quiet, midnight and the whole world is asleep. Only the mother is watching the black ghost of darkness through the window. In the middle of the room there is a picture of a cradle, in which the baby is peacefully resting. Since the painting depicts a dark night time, the lines are not clearly visible. Just as human eyes see in the dark, so the creator described the picture. The color in the work was skillfully chosen, which helped to make the darkness more convincing.
