„Mutter und Tante bringen ein krankes Kind zum Missionar“ („Mother and aunt are bringing a sick child to the missionary“). Two women, wearing draperies, headdresses and necklaces. The necklace of the women standing on the right side is looking like it is made of fur. The woman on the left is holding a child in her arms. Apparently, she is breast-feeding it. A building and trees in the background. Wilhelm Friedrich Karl Blohm, born in 1884 in Keffenbrinck (Germany), was a carpenter. In 1911 he married Marie Bürger.
