In this painting, a woman is depicted holding a baby, while another woman stands beside them, offering a basket of fruit. The baby is naked, except for a cloth wrapped around its waist, and is reaching for the fruit. The woman holding the baby wears a dark dress with a white collar and a gold necklace, while the other woman wears a pink dress with a green sleeve and a silver necklace. The background of the painting is dark, which contrasts with the bright colors of the fruit and the women's clothing. The overall mood of the painting is one of warmth and intimacy, as the two women interact with each other and the baby. This painting is a great example of the work of artist Jan van Bijlert.
