Brief Description

Black and white painting of a woman holding a child, their faces close together

Detailed Description

This black and white painting depicts a woman holding a child, presented in a vertical format against a dark, unadorned background. The woman is positioned slightly to the left of the center, her body angled towards the right. She looks down at the child, her head gently tilted. Her dark hair is pulled back, with a distinct braided or twisted element visible above her forehead. She wears a dark, long-sleeved garment that drapes around her form. Her left arm is wrapped around the child's back, while her right hand supports the child's lower body and legs. The child is held in the woman's arms, situated to the right of the center, facing left and looking up towards the woman's face. The child has light, curly hair and a slightly open mouth. One of the child's arms is around the woman's neck, and the other hand rests on her chest. The child is dressed in a light, loose-fitting garment that covers the torso and upper legs, leaving the lower legs and feet exposed. The figures are rendered with soft transitions between light and shadow, highlighting their forms against the deep background.
