Visual Summary

Brief Description

A woman holds a naked baby grasping a bird, a castle and trees in the background

Detailed Description

A woman and a naked baby are depicted against a landscape background. The woman, positioned slightly to the right of center, is seated and looks down towards the baby on her lap. She wears a red cloak draped over her shoulders and lap, a green sash, and a purple dress. A white veil covers her head, and a golden ring appears above her head. Her skin is fair, and her eyes are downcast. The naked baby sits upright on her lap, facing forward with a direct gaze. The baby's left hand holds a small, dark bird with a pointed beak and tail feathers. The woman's left hand supports the baby's back, while her right hand cradles the baby's left leg. The baby's skin is pale with rosy cheeks. The background features a vibrant green landscape under a clear blue sky. To the left, a large, light-colored castle with multiple towers and walls is visible on a distant hill. Several bare trees with thin branches are scattered across the left side of the landscape. To the right, a lush green tree with dense foliage stands behind the woman's shoulder. Further in the distance on the right, faint white buildings are visible amidst the greenery. The figures occupy the majority of the lower and central portions of the image, appearing in the foreground.
