"Kind in einer Wiege, von vier Frauen umgeben" (Child in a Cradle Surrounded by Four Women) is a red chalk drawing by German artist Bernhard Neher the Elder. The artwork, housed at the Städel Museum, depicts a scene of a baby being cradled by four women. Above the group, a male figure, perhaps a priest or a saint, is depicted in a cloud, gesturing with his hand. The scene likely alludes to a biblical story or an event from the life of a saint. The drawing, executed in red chalk, demonstrates Neher's skill in depicting figures and their interaction.
