Carrière enjoyed considerable success at the Salon of 1885 with a large painting of ‘The Sick Child’ (Paris, Musée d'Orsay) and in 1896–1897 gave a work of the same title to his friend Auguste Rodin. This composition 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.
