This painting shows a woman holding a small child. She wears a dark red robe with gold embroidery and a black headpiece. The child, dressed in gold, rests against her. Both have dark halos with golden edges. The background is dark brown with faded gold writing. The woman’s face is serious, with strong lines and dark eyes. The gold details on her robe catch the light, making them stand out. The child looks peaceful, almost asleep. This style of painting is called *composition*.
