Visual Summary

Brief Description

A woman in a blue cloak and red dress looks down at a sleeping baby in a landscape

Detailed Description

A vertically oriented painting depicts a woman and a baby in the foreground against a landscape background. The woman, positioned in the upper half of the composition, wears a light blue cloak draped over her head and shoulders, and a reddish-pink dress underneath. Her head is tilted downwards, and her eyes are cast towards the baby. Her hands are clasped together in front of her chest, fingers intertwined. She has fair skin and soft facial features. Below her, in the lower half of the painting, a nude baby lies horizontally on a white cloth, with a dark, possibly black, pillow supporting its head. The baby's eyes are closed. Its right arm is bent with the hand near its chest, while its left arm is extended, resting on its stomach. Its legs are bent, showing plump, fair skin and light brown hair. The background features a muted landscape under a light blue sky. A faint, lighter blue arc is visible behind the woman's head. On both the left and right sides, distant hills are visible, dotted with sparse trees and architectural structures, including arches and buildings, receding into the horizon. The overall color palette is soft, with blues, reds, and earthy tones.
