About this work

This painting shows four people indoors. A woman in a blue-green robe holds a baby wrapped in a white cloth. Two men stand beside her: one reads a book, the other leans on a staff. A third man, younger, looks at the baby. The background has a sky with clouds and a tall plant. The woman’s face is calm, and the baby reaches toward her. The painting copies an older work by Tiziano Vecellio, but the artist here is Blommér. Notice how the light hits the faces and clothes, making some areas bright and others dark. Look up chiaroscuro to see how this lighting trick works.
