Marian, I wish I would look that young at age 90! But I wouldn’t want to have a baby at that age! However, I take heart in the deeper meaning of the story—God refreshes and invigorates us, promising us new life even as our bodies age!

  Elfrieda, you are spot on with the interpretation.
  
  As to the painting, I believe the Russian artist was imagining the characters in the story through rose-colored glasses! 😀
