A woman sits holding a baby, her face calm and serious. She wears a white headscarf and a light-colored dress with a dark brooch at her chest. The baby is wrapped in a cloth, its head resting on her arm. The background is soft and blurry, with muted greens and blues. The brushstrokes are thick in some spots, especially on her hands and the baby’s face, giving a textured look. This style makes the scene feel warm and real. Next, look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
