Carrière enjoyed considerable success at the Salon of 1885 with a large painting of 'The Sick Child' (Paris, Musée d'Orsay) and in 1896-97 gave a work of the same title to his friend Auguste Rodin. This composition of around 1891-92 depicts Madame Carrière clasping a sick girl, perhaps her first daughter Elise (b. 1878). The artist painted several works with the title 'Maternité', most of which include a baby, rather than an adolescent. Gwendoline Davies purchased this work in 1913.
Work was part of the AFA tour (2009-2010): From Turner to Cézanne: Masterpieces from the Davies Collection, National Museum Wales
