A reclining woman with a child, a seated woman, and two winged figures in a two-tiered scene
Detailed Description
The rectangular painting features a two-tiered composition with a dominant blue background and red borders. The larger bottom section depicts a woman with light brown skin reclining on an ornate bed, holding a small child. She wears a crown, elaborate gold and red jewelry, and a pink patterned garment. A large, patterned halo or aura frames her head, which is turned to the left, looking upwards. To her right, a smaller woman with light brown skin sits on the bed, wearing a pink top and patterned skirt, also adorned with jewelry. She holds a white fan-like object and looks towards the reclining figure. The bed has carved legs and a patterned mattress. A red floral motif is visible to the left of the reclining woman. The smaller top section is divided into three vertical segments. In the center, a child's head is visible within an ornate, elevated cradle. On either side, a figure with light brown skin, wearing a crown and jewelry, sits facing the central cradle. Large, wing-like or fan-like elements are visible behind each figure. Each figure holds an object, possibly a lamp or an offering. A decorative border with a zigzag pattern separates the two main sections. The overall color palette includes blue, red, gold, pink, and light brown.
