Visual Summary

Brief Description

A woman in a red robe holds a baby within an ornate architectural structure with small figures

Detailed Description

A vertical painting depicts a woman in a red robe holding a baby, set within an ornate architectural niche. The woman, positioned centrally, has light skin and dark hair, with her eyes closed and head tilted towards the baby. She wears a deep red, flowing robe that covers most of her body, with a white undergarment visible around the baby. The baby, also with light skin, is wrapped in a white cloth and rests in the woman's arms, facing her. Behind the figures, the back wall of the niche is a dark blue with intricate gold patterns. The surrounding architecture is rendered in shades of grey and brown, featuring pointed arches, spires, and numerous small, detailed sculptural figures in niches along the sides. A banner with text, "DOMUS OBLIGEST ET PORTA CELI," arches above the figures. At the bottom, a stone base also bears text, "HIC EST UBI N PREPARAVIT DOMS FILIO DNI MEI."
