Visual Summary

Brief Description

A woman breastfeeds a baby in a landscape, within a round, ornate gold frame

Detailed Description

The painting is a circular portrait, set within a thick, ornate gold frame. The central figures are a woman and a baby, positioned against a rolling green landscape under a light blue sky. The woman, on the right, has fair skin and light, reddish-blonde hair, partially covered by a white veil. She wears a dark blue or black dress, with a white garment visible underneath, and a flowing red cloak draped over her shoulders and arm. Her left breast is exposed, and she looks down towards the baby. The baby, on the left, has fair skin and is naked, held in the woman's arms. The baby's head is turned towards the woman's exposed breast, appearing to feed. The baby's small hands are visible, one near the woman's breast and the other resting on her arm. The background features a verdant landscape with undulating hills, scattered dark green trees, and faint structures in the distance under a pale blue sky with hints of white. The entire painted surface shows a network of fine cracks. The gold frame is circular, with a textured, slightly worn appearance.
