Visual Summary

Brief Description

A woman with reddish-brown hair holding an unclothed baby, both looking upward

Detailed Description

This vertical painting, framed by a rough, dark brown border, features a woman holding a baby within an arched, light gray-blue background. The woman, positioned slightly to the left of center, has fair skin and long, wavy reddish-brown hair that falls over her shoulders. Her head is tilted gently downward and to the right, with her eyes cast in the same direction. She wears a dark blue garment with a visible white collar. Her left arm cradles the baby, while her right hand supports the baby's lower body. The baby, with fair skin and light, sparse hair, is held in the woman's arms, facing slightly to the right and looking upward with wide, light-colored eyes. The baby's left arm is wrapped around the woman's neck, and its right hand rests on her chest. The baby is unclothed. The figures fill most of the frame. The lighting appears to come from the upper left, highlighting their faces and limbs.
