This is a wonderful piece.
As is so often the case in your work, the female, the maternal and the nurturing of the young are emphasised. I think the title - "Early Life" - has two meanings. Firstly, it refers to the aforementioned, and secondly it refers to a period in the now quite distant "Early Life" of human civilization - a period perhaps happier than our own. Hence the smile on the face of the female figure and her quite peaceful expression.
As with your previous picture, there are subtle suggestions and hints of the mythic in this one.
