A woman sits holding a baby, her hair pulled back neatly. She wears a loose, light-colored dress with a blue sash and a brooch at her chest. A yellow vase with flowers sits on a table beside her, and the room behind her looks cluttered with tools, fabrics, and a small framed picture on the wall. The brushstrokes are thick and textured, giving the painting a rough, almost sketchy feel. The lighting is soft but focused, making her face stand out against the darker background. Look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
