Babies, under any circumstances, are the most interesting objects in the world, and, apart from the religious association a charming picture of infancy is here given. The artist has expended much labor upon the laces and rich, quilted coverlet, and has therein achieved a fine piece of texture-work; but that is only a setting for the precious jewel of a babe, whose dimpled face and hands, soft, pulpy flesh, large, liquid, wondering eyes, and rosebud mouth, conquer all hearts by their cherubic loveliness.
