The background of the painting is a landscape with trees and a body of water. The woman's facial expression is calm, and the child appears to be looking at the viewer. The painting's colors are muted, with shades of brown and green dominating the palette. The painting's style is reminiscent of the Renaissance period, with attention to detail and realism.
