Woman Nursing a Baby (Pounce)

A seated woman, facing left, nurses her small child. Her right hand gently supports the back of her child’s neck, while her right knee supports her child from behind. She wears a long shawl that covers her long, dark hair and flows past her back, large earrings, anklets, bracelets, necklaces and a nose ring. Small holes can be found outlining the figures. The holes represent a transferring technique known as pounce. Powder, such as graphite or chalk, is passed through the holes onto a clean working surface to give an exact copy of the image that is to be copied. Rajput Style.
