label: Description
content: This print depicts a woman and a small child beneath a flowering tree branch. The image is presented in a round shape on a white background. On the left side of the image, a woman stands wearing traditional Hanfu style Chinese dress and hairstyle. She is bent slightly towards a small child who stands on a rock on the other side of the image. The child wears a sweater and shorts and is bending to look towards a box at the base of the rock. The box is very faint and its contents unclear. The ground they stand on is mottled and uneven in appearance. The print is signed and dated by the artist in graphite at the bottom right: [Cecile Chong 2015] and the edition is noted at the bottom left: [18/120].
