Brief Description

A woman in a red dress holds a nude baby against an intricately patterned gold background

Detailed Description

A woman holds a baby, positioned centrally against a richly decorated gold background. The woman, shown from the waist, wears a long-sleeved red gown with a white neckline, draped with a dark green mantle over her left shoulder and lap. Her brown hair is parted in the middle and falls over her shoulders. She looks down towards the baby, her right hand gently holding the baby's left hand, while her left hand supports the baby's back and bottom. The baby, nude and light-skinned, sits on the woman's lap, facing slightly left with a direct gaze forward. The baby has sparse, light hair and plump limbs. Its right hand rests on the woman's right hand, and its feet are visible at the bottom of the image. The gold background is intricately patterned, divided into a grid-like structure. Within this grid, various decorative elements are visible. In the upper left, a profile bust of a figure is enclosed in a roundel, with the letters "SC" visible below it. Other roundels contain small, nude, winged figures depicted in dynamic poses, some appearing to hold objects. The spaces between the roundels are filled with elaborate scrolling foliage, grotesque masks, and other ornamental motifs rendered in dark lines with occasional red accents. The gold surface shows some areas of wear and darker patina.
