About this work

This painting shows a woman holding a small child. Both have serious faces and big, dark eyes. The woman wears a gold halo and a long robe with red and blue borders. The background is mostly red and blue, with some faded gold patterns. The woman’s face looks smooth, almost like it’s carved from wood. The child’s face is simpler, with less detail. The colors are flat, not very realistic. Next, look up *chiaroscuro* to see how light and shadow create depth.
