Monochromatic image of a woman holding a child, a bearded man looking over her shoulder
A monochromatic image depicts three figures in a close-up, vertical composition. In the center, a woman with a neutral expression holds a nude child. She is positioned slightly to the right of the frame's center, looking down at the child, her face in profile. Her hair is covered by a dark veil, and she wears a light-colored garment with a dark, flowing drapery wrapped around her shoulders and waist. Her left hand rests on the child's back, while her right hand is near her chest. The child, facing left, leans into the woman, with its left arm reaching towards her chest and its right arm around her neck. The child's face is turned towards the woman, with its mouth slightly open. Its body is plump and smooth, with its left foot resting on a dark, rectangular block at the bottom right. Behind the woman, on the left side of the frame, a bearded man looks towards the right, his gaze directed towards the woman and child. He has a full, curly beard and short hair, and wears a light-colored robe over a darker garment. The background is uniformly dark, creating a strong contrast to the figures. Lighting highlights the figures' forms and the folds of their drapery.
