Brief Description

A woman holds a child reaching for a small red object, against a gold background

Detailed Description

The painting depicts a woman and a child within an arched, gilded frame. The background is entirely gold, featuring intricate patterns. A circular golden glow appears around the woman's head, with visible text within it. The woman, positioned slightly to the right of the center, is shown from the waist up, looking down and to her left. She wears a dark blue mantle over a light-colored veil and a golden-yellow dress with a white ruffled neckline. The golden dress has a detailed, dark red and black embroidered pattern on the chest. Her left hand cradles the child, while her right hand holds a small, dark red, spherical object, possibly a fruit, which she offers to the child. The child sits on a small, ornate golden cushion on the woman's left hip, facing forward but looking towards her. The child is mostly nude, with a light reddish-brown sash draped around the waist and left leg. The child's right arm is raised, reaching towards the red object in the woman's hand, while the left hand rests on her arm. A faint circular golden glow encircles the child's head. The gold background behind the woman's head features a circular inscription in capital letters: "AVE GRATIAPLENA DOMINUS TECUM." The outer edge of the arched frame is also intricately patterned with gold.
