About this work

A woman holds a baby. The baby wears a red tunic. The woman has a blue cloak. They sit on a bench. The background is plain gold. This looks like an old religious picture. Artists often painted Mary and baby Jesus this way. The faces have soft edges. The colors are quiet. Look up Lorenzo di Credi (Italian, 1459–1537) next.
