Ivanka posted for her sister (Tiffany's) birthday. So, interesting (is that the word?) she chose this particular pic.

I think it’s fabulous and artistic.
I agree with you but not for the reasons I'm sure you're thinking.
The composition highlights the difference and disconnect between the two figures. At a quick glance, this is what I see:
The women is mature and in a fancy, black dress - the traditional color of mourning or seduction. The child is young,nearly naked and depicted in a style associated with innocence and love.
There appears to be no relationship between the woman and child. It's as if the child were photoshopped into it. There's no warmth, no connection between the two.
The woman is leaning one way, the child another. Again, this emphasizes their distance and lack of relationship
Even the woman's hand on the child's thigh, with it's splayed straight fingers, indicates no possession or care of the child. There is nothing keeping the child from sliding off the couch - the child isn't even sitting on her lap.
The coloring and position of the child indicates she's part of the furniture/decor. She blends into the background. She's an afterthought, a prop. The focus is on the main figure in black.
The child is sucking on a bottle from which no milk could flow with a vacant, distant look in her eyes. She is alone an isolated even though she is surrounded by a woman.
For me, the photo epitomizes the selfishness of Ivanka and how the Trump family treats Tiffany. So, yes, it is fabulous and artistic.
