Visual Summary

Brief Description

A woman holding a nude child, a hilly landscape left, and a red curtain right

Detailed Description

The vertical rectangular painting depicts a woman and a child positioned centrally. The woman, shown from the waist up, faces slightly to the viewer's right, her head gently tilted, and her gaze directed forward. She wears a deep blue cloak with a gold-colored trim over a white veil and a red garment. A faint golden ring encircles her head. She cradles the nude child on her lap, who faces slightly left and looks upwards. The child has light brown, curly hair, and a faint golden ring. His left hand rests on his chest, while his right hand holds a small, yellowish-green fruit. The background is divided vertically. To the left of the woman, a light blue sky with soft white clouds transitions into a green and brown hilly landscape. Several white buildings, including a prominent tower, are visible on the hills, along with a few bare-branched trees. To the right, a rich red curtain hangs, gathered in vertical folds, featuring a subtle pattern of gold circles. A dark horizontal band forms the base of the painting, with a lighter rectangular panel in its center. Inscribed on this panel in capital letters are the words "IOANNES BELLINVS".
