Detailed Description
A vertical portrait painting depicts a woman holding a child, seated on a sofa against a plain, dark background. The woman, positioned slightly left of center, faces forward with a neutral expression. She has pale skin and dark, voluminous curly hair that frames her face. She wears a light pink satin gown with a full, flowing skirt that extends to the bottom edge of the canvas. The gown features lace trim on the sleeves and a sheer, light-colored shawl draped over her shoulders and chest. On her lap, to her right, sits a small child with light skin and light hair, facing slightly to the left. The child wears a light blue, sheer dress with ruffles and long sleeves, and small white shoes. Both figures are seated on a light blue sofa with a visible ornate, gold-colored frame along its top and sides. The background behind them is a plain, dark olive-brown color. At the very bottom edge of the painting, white text is visible, reading: LA EX. S. D. MARIA IGNACIA ALVAREZ DE TOLEDO MARQUESA D. ASTORGA CONDESA D. ALTAMIRA Y LA S. D. MARIA AGUSTINA OSORIO ALVAREZ DE TOLEDO SU HIJA NACIO EN 20 DE FEBRERO DE 1792.
