About this work

This drawing shows a woman holding a baby. The shapes are simple and flat, not very realistic. Colors are soft—pinks, yellows, and greens—with some dark lines for faces and clothes. The woman’s face is made of big, smooth patches. The baby looks small and round, almost like a blob. The background has a few quick brushstrokes, like plants or a wall. Look up cross-hatching next to see how artists use lines to create shapes.
