This is a black and white engraving depicting a woman under a weeping willow tree. The woman is kneeling, reaching down towards a small baby lying on the ground. She is holding another baby in her arms. The tree's branches drape down around her, creating a curtain-like effect. The ground is covered in wavy lines, suggesting grass or a field. Below the image, there is text that reads 'The Infant slain beneath a Tree' and 'Published 17 May 1793 by W. Blake'. The style is reminiscent of early Romantic or Gothic art, with a focus on emotional intensity and dramatic composition.
