This painting shows a woman in a blue dress holding a baby, with a golden crown on her head. Around her are four people: a man kneeling with a small child, a woman in a white dress, and an older woman in dark clothes. The floor has a patterned red rug, and the background looks like a dark, arched wall. The woman’s red sash ties the scene together, matching the red in the rug. The painting is a copy of an older work, made in 1868 using watercolors. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
