Folk art illustration of a Black baby sleeping in a cradle, surrounded by birds, flowers, and hearts.

A newborn Black baby girl resting peacefully in a simple woven cradle, illustrated in the style of old‑world folk art. She is wrapped in patterned cloth decorated with traditional motifs—stars, flowers, and protective symbols. The artwork uses bold, simplified shapes and hand‑painted textures, with warm earthy colors such as ochre, deep red, and soft blue. Around her are stylized folk‑art elements: birds with ornate feathers, blooming flowers, curling vines, and small heart shapes. The background resembles aged wood or parchment, giving the scene a rustic, handcrafted feel. The overall mood is tender, timeless, and symbolic, celebrating the innocence of new life through the charm of 1700s folk‑art storytelling. See more
