"Bouguereau has painted so many Italian women and children, that the introduction of a pretty American, or English woman perhaps, as a guardian angel for one of his sleeping babes, will be accepted with pleasure by his admirers... Nothing can be more charming than the figure of the sleeping child, or the thoughtful face of the young mother who is watching over it.  The original picture was one of the most admired works in the New York Centennial Loan Exhibition last summer."  (Art Journal 1877)
