This painting shows a woman in a blue robe holding a baby while another child leans against her. Around them, two winged angels float in the sky, which glows with warm gold and pink tones. The woman wears a red cloak, and the child on the right clutches a scroll. The painting’s soft lighting creates deep shadows, especially under the woman’s chin and around the angels’ wings. This effect makes the figures look three-dimensional. Look up *chiaroscuro* next to see how this technique works.
