St Bernard dog aiding a woman with a sick child

A large dog with a shaggy coat and a small barrel slung at its neck sits beside a woman in a striped headscarf and dark bodice, who gestures toward the animal while cradling a limp child in a red skirt. Behind them, a rocky slope rises toward snowy mountains under a pale, cloudy sky, in an oil painting.
