Visual Summary

Brief Description

A woman in a blue robe holds a nude baby, their faces touching, against a dark background

Detailed Description

This vertical painting depicts a woman holding a baby against a dark, almost black background. The woman, positioned slightly to the left of the center, has light-toned skin and reddish-brown hair parted in the middle, held back by a thin, dark band across her forehead. Her eyes are closed, and her head is tilted towards the right, bringing her face close to the baby's. She wears a deep blue robe that drapes over her shoulders and arms, creating soft folds. Her left hand supports the baby's back, while her right hand cradles the baby's legs, which are partially covered by a crumpled piece of white cloth. The baby, with light-toned skin, is depicted nude from the waist up, with a small belly and visible navel. Its head is turned towards the woman, with its right cheek pressed against her left cheek. The baby's eyes are open, looking towards the woman's face. Its small right arm is raised, with the hand resting near the woman's shoulder. The baby's left arm is bent, with the hand near its chest. Small feet are visible near the woman's right arm. The two figures fill most of the central space, positioned closely together.
