This painting shows a woman holding a small child. Both have golden halos around their heads. The woman wears a deep red robe with gold trim, and the child is dressed in a simple brown tunic. Their faces look calm and serious, with flat, dark outlines. The woman’s robe folds are drawn with careful, repeating lines. The background is plain gold, and the edges of the painting have faded writing. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists create shading with lines.
