EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this black and white etching by Robert Blyth, we are transported back to a simpler time in history. The scene depicts a cozy bedchamber inside a farmhouse, where domestic bliss unfolds before our eyes. Four people are present – a father, mother, baby girl, and shepherd - each playing their unique role in creating an atmosphere of contentment. The father is portrayed as a robust farmer with his occupation evident through his sturdy build. He cradles his precious newborn daughter in his arms while standing beside her crib. His loving gaze towards the child reflects the joy that only parenthood can bring.
