This picture was first exhibited at the Salon d'Automne in 1921 as 'Femme allaitant son Enfant' (Woman suckling her Child), but when shown in London a few months later the title was changed to 'La Maternité'. A similar composition painted from the same models, but showing the woman wearing a head-scarf and without a landscape background, was exhibited in Jean Marchand, Galerie Barbazanges, Paris, October-November 1921 (10) and is reproduced in L'Art et les Artistes, N.S. IV, 1921, p.109. Paul Maze says that the girl was a professional model who also posed for another picture in the collection, N06203.
