The Baby is Sleeping (by Gerolamo Induno) Ceramic Tile

This design features a painting by the Italian artist Gerolamo Induno (1825–1890). It shows two elegant women sitting in a grand room that is being used as a nursery. A young baby is sleeping gracefully in its crib, which is an elaborate piece of golden furniture. One of the women is sewing with a needle and thread, while the other woman is sitting next to the baby and leaning on its crib. The women are clearly very wealthy, as the room is expensively and elaborated decorated. The original artwork was painted by Gerolamo Induno in 1870.
