“Hope for Emma” (oil on canvas, 9″ × 12″) depicts a radiologist (man) doing a dynamic hip manoeuvre on a baby girl who is being treated for hip dysplasia. The ultrasonographer (woman with hand on the machine) is taking the images, and the mother is distracting and soothing her child. In this case, the radiologist was the first to tell the mother that the six-month treatment had worked, and her baby girl could finally be cuddled without a hard, bulky Pavlik harness between them.
