"Lady Mildmay and Child" is a 1912 engraving by American artist Timothy Cole (1852-1931) and is currently housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art. The work depicts a mother and her child in an outdoor setting, with a focus on the intimate connection between them. Cole's precise engraving techniques and meticulous detail bring out the softness of the subjects and the beauty of the natural environment. The artwork captures the tenderness of motherhood and is a testament to Cole's mastery of the engraving medium.
