Half figure of a woman sitting 

This etching by Giovanni Battista Piranesi, a prominent Italian artist known for his architectural designs and engravings, depicts a woman holding a young child. The composition is simple yet powerful, focusing on the intimate bond between the mother and child. The woman's draped clothing and the delicate rendering of the child's features create a sense of tenderness and care. Piranesi's work often explored themes of classical antiquity and the human condition, evident in this evocative portrayal of motherhood.
