About this work

This sketch shows a woman in flowing robes sitting on a raised platform, holding a small child who looks up at her. The woman wears a headscarf and a necklace, while the child has light stockings and bare feet. The background is plain, with a faint outline of an arch above them. The woman’s green dress contrasts with the child’s pale clothes, and the artist left some areas lightly shaded. The sketch looks unfinished, with visible pencil lines and color patches.
