Cabinet card photograph depicting a young child posed with a lamb, late 19th century. The mount bears the imprint of A. Larock, Lewiston, Maine.
The child stands barefoot wearing a textured fleece garment, holding a long staff with a ribbon reading “ST. JEAN BAPTISTE.” At right, a live lamb fitted with a small decorative collar rests on a raised, moss-covered studio prop with the child’s hand placed on the lamb's head. The combination of staff, lamb, and costume presents the child in the iconography of Saint John the Baptist, a subject associated with French Canadian Saint-Jean-Baptiste observances.
The lower mount reads “A. Larock Lewiston, ME” with “Cabinet Portraits” incorporated into the imprint design. The verso is blank.
