Jesus and Baby

I happened across this image while on the internet today. Look closely in the bottom right corner of the picture.



Words can't express the emotions this picture evokes in me.

I tried doing a search for the artist but I couldn't find any name associated with this picture. Maybe the picture is an altered version of another work of art. I really don't know, but if anyone knows who the artist is or knows anything else about this image, I'd appreciate it if you shared it with me. Thanks.

Melanie, I did a little search of my own with the words "Jesus holding fetus" and came up with this link with a complete picture of the painting

It is actually a painting that someone did to portray the grief that Jesus feels over the travesty of abortion, but I don't think it diminishes its significance to think of it in terms of the grief he shares with us as well, in the UNchosen loss of our little ones.
