I believe that this painting has a connection with the sonnet "For my daughter " written by Weldon Kees. The reason is associate this painting to the sonnet is because when I read the sonnet, it was about a father that creates an image in his head of how he will feel if he will have a daughter and she will be sick. I think that image, make him feel sad and that is why at the end of the sonnet he says "I have no daughter. I desire none"(14).We can see in this painting how the child is sick and how the parent is suffering  even though  it is only a painting and this image is reflected in it. This painting gives you a felling of pain, therefore when I read the sonnet I felt that maybe he had the same image in his head and he was trying to avoid the pain and suffering he would felt in his life if this image will be real.
