Neitsyt Maria ja lapsi is an unspecified by Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, held at Finnish National Gallery.
A woman in a pinkish robe holds a barefoot child who clutches a cloth. Her hair is dark, her face calm, and the child’s skin looks soft. The background is plain and dark, keeping focus on them. The woman’s sleeve drapes loosely, and the child’s legs dangle slightly. The way light hits their faces and hands makes them stand out sharply against the dark. The artist used smooth color shifts to show folds in the cloth and skin. Look up chiaroscuro next to see how this lighting trick works.
