Visual Summary

Brief Description

A woman with dark hair breastfeeds a light-skinned baby against a dark background

Detailed Description

A vertical painting depicts a woman breastfeeding a baby. The figures are rendered with warm tones. The woman, positioned on the right and center of the canvas, is seated and faces slightly left. She has light skin and dark brown hair parted in the middle. Her gaze is directed downwards towards the baby. Her left shoulder and breast are exposed. She wears a draped garment of a deep reddish-brown or terracotta color, with folds of white fabric visible around her lap and left arm. Her right arm supports the baby's back, and her left hand is near the baby's leg. A light-skinned baby with light, curly hair is held horizontally in the woman's lap. The baby is naked and actively feeding at the woman's left breast. Its left arm is raised, with its hand near the woman's chest, while its right arm is bent. The baby's face is turned towards the woman's breast, with its eyes partially visible. The background is uniformly dark brown, creating a contrast with the figures. There are subtle variations in tone, but no discernible details or objects.
