This painting shows a bare, chubby child sitting on a rock. The kid has round cheeks, big eyes, and a soft smile, with one arm stretched out and the other resting on the rock. The background is dark, making the child stand out. Notice how the light hits the child’s body, making some parts look smooth and others slightly rough. The rock under them has a reddish tint, like a fruit. Want to know more? Check out chiaroscuro.
