In Mother's Embrace
The newborn, only a few days old, lies nestled against its mother’s chest, completely enveloped in her protective embrace. Her strong arms hold the tiny infant securely, while both rest in a quiet moment of connection. This image captures the instinctive care and bond between a mother and her newborn in the first fragile days of life.
