Image of a 3-year-old boy standing on a padded bench, along with two maids or nannies, one sitting next to him and the other standing behind him. The milknurse or childnurse were women, commonly of black descent, who offered lactation and infant care services, especially in the homes of wealthy families. The way they both dress would reflect the social status of the family for which they worked.
