About this work

The painting depicts a scene with a group of women gathered around a table, where one woman is holding a baby. The women are dressed in colorful clothing, and the room has a plaid curtain and a wooden ceiling. In the foreground, a woman is kneeling, holding a baby, while another woman is sitting on the floor, looking at the baby. The women are all wearing head coverings and have serious expressions on their faces. The painting has a lot of detail, with intricate patterns on the women's clothing and the furniture. The colors are muted, with shades of red, blue, and yellow. The overall mood of the painting is one of reverence and respect. The painting is held at the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya.
