Visual Summary

Brief Description

A woman breastfeeds a baby in a natural landscape with a house

Detailed Description

A painting depicts a woman holding a baby in a green landscape. The woman, positioned slightly to the right of center, has fair skin and long, wavy reddish-brown hair that falls over her shoulders. She wears a dark, flowing robe that covers most of her body, revealing a white undergarment at her chest as she breastfeeds the baby. Her gaze is directed downwards toward the child. The baby, held in her arms, has fair skin and light reddish-blonde curly hair. The baby wears a sheer, light-colored garment and looks directly out toward the viewer. The woman's left hand supports the baby's back, and her right hand gently holds the baby's right hand near her breast. In the immediate foreground, a low brick wall is visible at the bottom left, with green leafy plants growing behind it. The background features a detailed landscape under a light blue sky. To the left, a large rocky outcrop rises behind a cluster of dark green trees. To the right, rolling green hills extend into the distance, dotted with more trees. A small white house with a red roof is nestled among the trees on the right, beside a winding body of water.
