Visual Summary

Brief Description

Woman with jeweled headband holds a baby, both looking forward on a deep red background

Detailed Description

The painting depicts a woman holding a baby, presented in a vertical, chest-up composition against a plain, deep red background. The woman, positioned slightly to the right of center, has pale skin, dark hair parted in the middle, and wears a dark headband adorned with small red and white jewels. Her large, dark eyes and small mouth are directed forward. She wears a dark blue garment with a square neckline featuring a wide band of gold and white patterned trim. Her left arm supports the baby, while her right hand gently holds the baby's leg. The baby, held to the left of the woman's chest, has light brown, curly hair and pale skin. Like the woman, the baby's large, dark eyes and small mouth face directly forward. The baby wears a loose, light-colored, long-sleeved garment. Its left hand holds a string of small white beads, which drape down. The baby's right hand is raised with fingers slightly curled. Its bare legs are crossed at the ankles, with the feet visible.
