Visual Summary

Brief Description

A woman cradles a baby while another woman looks on, surrounded by dark foliage and roses

Detailed Description

The painting depicts three figures in a dark, natural setting. In the center-left, a woman with fair skin and light brown hair looks down at a baby she cradles in her arms. She wears a light-colored, sheer head covering, a cream-colored top, and a dark blue-green draped garment that covers her lower body and the baby. The baby, with fair, plump skin, lies mostly nude on a white cloth, its arms raised and legs bent. To the right, a second woman with fair skin and blonde hair adorned with pearls looks towards the baby. She wears a reddish-brown garment and holds several green fronds or leaves in her hands, which are clasped near her chest. The background on the left features dark green foliage with several pink and red roses. The upper right background shows more dark green leaves and a few dark, round fruit-like objects against a dark, cloudy sky. The overall lighting highlights the figures against the darker background.
