This painting shows a woman in a red dress holding a baby. The baby is reaching up with one hand and holding a cloth with the other. A small child with curly hair and a red bow is on the left, holding a scroll with letters on it. The woman and the baby are looking at each other. The small child is looking up at the baby. The background is dark. The colors are bright and the figures are detailed. The painting is very realistic. Look up Carlo Dolci to learn more.
