In the Womb portrays the strong emotional bond that originates between a mother and her child at conception and continues beyond childbirth. Notice the child leaning asleep on his mother's body as the mother seemingly tends to wrap him in her arms with compassion. An African setting is also captured with a local pot of water seen within the background of the painting. The choice of dark, warm grey, yellow and brown color combinations display the motherly kindness and affection towards her child.
