Pouring coffee whilst holding tiny baby

An exhausted father lays on the family sofa, snuggled up with his infant child who also slumbers on his chest. He has been reading a yellow-covered copy of the Don de Lillo novel, Libra. In the background, the wife and mother can be seen having some sort of personal crisis while the man looks very chilled out and probably pleased to have the chance to read, snooze and have his sleeping child to comfort. It is a scene of role-reversal as the male of the family is the one left holding the baby, a scene of a modern family as opposed to the traditional Victorian or Edwardian gender.
