This is 24" x 24" oil on board. As I looked at this image I realized that the mother appears in her gesture to be 'giving a benediction' or 'blessing' her baby. Perhaps, the act of immigration could be seen as a benediction or blessing on the immigrant's children/family. "May the Lord bless you and keep you...as I go out into the wilderness to find work...until we are reunited again."
