This painting shows a woman holding a small child. The woman wears a red robe with a green underlayer and a dark headscarf. The child has a pale face and a brown robe, with a halo behind its head. Both figures stand out against a gold background with faded blue and white borders. The woman’s face is simple but serious, with large, dark eyes. The child looks calm, holding a small object in its hand. The painting feels old, with some paint chipped away. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists create shading with lines.
