Visual Summary

Brief Description

A woman in a red cloak holds a baby, their gazes directed away from each other

Detailed Description

The painting depicts a woman holding a baby in a vertical, waist-up composition against a dark, mottled green background. The woman, positioned slightly to the right of the center, has fair skin and long, wavy reddish-brown hair visible beneath a voluminous red cloak that drapes over her head and shoulders. Her head is tilted slightly down and to the left, with her eyes cast downwards. She wears a dark green dress with a high neckline and a decorative gold-patterned trim around the collar. Her left hand supports the baby's back, while her right hand gently holds the baby's left leg. The baby, with fair skin and light brown curly hair, is held in the woman's arms, positioned horizontally across the lower half of the canvas. The baby is mostly unclothed, with a small white cloth draped around its lower body. Its head is turned upwards and to the left, with wide-open eyes looking towards the upper left corner of the painting. Its mouth is slightly open. The baby's right arm is raised, with its fingers slightly curled, while its left arm rests on its chest. Its legs are bent, with the feet visible towards the lower right. The figures occupy most of the frame, with the red cloak dominating the upper right and lower left portions of the composition.
