Painted by Aleksandr Ivanovich Morozov, this oil on canvas masterpiece depicts a hardworking peasant woman taking a break from her haymaking duties to nourish her child. In this intimate scene, the mother sits comfortably on the ground, cradling her baby in one arm while offering her breast for feeding.

The soft colors and delicate brushstrokes create an atmosphere of tranquility that contrasts with the physical demands of agricultural work.
