Little One by Jay Bryant Ward | Christian Art Print – Jay Bryant Ward

"And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me." -Matthew 18:5

The Story Behind the Painting

There is much injustice in the world, often at the expense of those least able to overcome it. I take great comfort in knowing that the Lord is very mindful of all of his children and that in due course, He will ensure that all will be made well. This image speaks to those who yearn for peace, comfort, and protection and long for a day that they may sit, safely, at the feet of the Savior, even Jesus Christ.

About This Image

In quiet, luminous tones, Jay Bryant Ward's Little One captures a moment of profound tenderness — a young girl, barefoot and serene in her pink lace-trimmed dress, seated peacefully as the robed figure of Jesus rests a gentle hand upon her head. She holds a single pale lily and gazes outward with a calm, unhurried trust. A vase of white Easter lilies glows softly beside her, anchoring the scene in hope and renewal.

Rendered in the tradition of classical oil painting, this composition carries the warmth of a quiet afternoon and the weight of something sacred. It speaks to the assurance of being known, seen, and covered — a truth that resonates across nurseries, living rooms, and spaces of personal devotion alike.

Whether given as a gift or chosen for your own walls, Little One brings a spirit of peace and protection to any room it graces. Available in a range of print formats, made in the USA.
