Detailed Description
A vertical painting shows a woman and two children in a natural landscape under a cloudy sky. The central figure is a woman, facing slightly right, with light skin and dark, wavy hair. She is mostly nude, with a blue drapery wrapped around her left shoulder and waist, covering her lower body. Her right hand rests on her hip, while her left arm supports a child on her left shoulder. This child, with light skin and curly blonde hair, looks towards the viewer. A second child, also with light skin and curly blonde hair, stands to the woman's lower left, holding onto the blue drapery at her waist and looking towards the viewer. To the left of the woman, two tall, slender trees with dark foliage stand, with a dark bird perched on a branch of the left tree. In the distant background, a light-colored building with an arched entrance is visible, accompanied by several small, dark deer-like animals. The sky is a dark blue with lighter blue and white clouds, and distant, dark blue mountains rise on the horizon. The ground is a mix of dark brown and green, with some lighter patches.
