About this work

This painting shows a woman sitting outside, holding a sleeping baby. She wears a dark dress and a white headwrap, with gold earrings. A woven basket and a green bottle sit beside her on a rough stone ledge. Behind her, old stone pillars and a dim sky fade into the distance. The woman’s face looks tired, but her hand gently rests on the baby’s back. The brushstrokes are thick, especially on her clothes and the basket, making them look almost textured. If you like this style, look up *orientalist painting* next.
