The child, resembling a romping putto, is seen from the rear. In the right background behind the woman, a group of figures stand in a canoe which is modelled on Lejeune and Chazal's engraving ["Pirogue des habitants de la Nouvelle-Zelande"], Plate 45 in Duperrey's "Voyage autout du monde sur la corvette La Coquille ..." (Paris, 1826). Presumably disbound from a French popular publication about South Sea voyages, of the same type as Domeny de Rienzi's "Oceanie" (1835-36).
