About this work

This painting shows a woman and a child. The woman is holding the child, and they are both looking at each other. The background is brown and has a pattern on it. The painting is made of paste print on laid paper, which gives it a unique texture. The artist used a technique called sfumato to create a soft, hazy effect in the background.
