Detailed Description
A woman and a winged child are depicted in a natural landscape with two dogs. The woman, positioned slightly left of center, sits on a red drapery that cascades over her legs. She wears a light-colored, off-the-shoulder garment that exposes her right breast and arm. Her dark hair is pulled back, and she looks down towards the child. Her left arm is raised, holding a brown bow, while her right arm extends forward. The nude, winged child kneels on the ground to her right, reaching up towards her right arm with both hands. The child has curly hair and a quiver of arrows strapped to their back. To the left, a lean, brown dog sits upright, looking towards the woman and child. Behind it, a darker dog lies on the ground. The background features a lush green landscape with trees on both sides, a distant structure on the horizon, and a blue sky with light clouds above. The figures in the foreground are brightly illuminated, contrasting with the softer light of the background.
