About this work

This painting shows three figures in a dimly lit room. A woman in a white dress sits on a chair, holding a baby who’s being dressed by another woman kneeling beside her. The room has dark wood paneling, a fancy chair, and a small table with books and a vase. The baby’s tiny hands reach up as the kneeling woman carefully places a flower crown on its head. The woman sitting wears a large hat with pink flowers, and the light comes from the left, casting soft shadows. Next, look up chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and shadow like this.
