Farewell To The Wet Nurse, 1776-77. Creator: Etienne Aubry
Farewell To The Wet Nurse, 1776-77. An elegantly dressed mother takes her child from the woman on the left, who has nursed him from early infancy. Placing babies in the care of hired wet nurses--preferably young women from rural areas, as the painting's rustic setting suggests--was a common practice among wealthy French families in the eighteenth century. The child's gesture and anguished expression reflect the affectionate relationship that could result from this arrangement
