About this work

The painting depicts a woman and a baby. The woman is wearing a dark green cloak over a red dress, and the baby is naked except for a cloth draped around its waist. The woman is sitting on a bench, and the baby is standing on her lap. The woman's face is serene, and the baby looks directly at the viewer. The background of the painting is dark, which makes the figures stand out. The woman's cloak and the baby's cloth are rendered in intricate detail. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume. Look up the artist Bartolomeo Vivarini to learn more.
