Series; Scenes of the Twenty-four Hours, A Pictorial Trope, 1890 - 1891
Noon: Beauty Feeding a Baby - Interesting scene of a beauty feeding a baby at noon, holding a morsel of food between chopsticks as the child eagerly opens its mouth. She has a rather harassed expression from trying to get the baby to eat, a few loose wisps of hair framing her face. The nearby tray holds ceramic bowls of pumpkin, grilled chicken, and peas alongside a black lacquer food box. Includes burnishing on the mother's black obi. A circular inset in the form of a pocket watch shows a covered dish. The verse inside it reads:
'Please eat a lot'
She urges the toddler.
