About this work

This painting shows a woman wearing a pink robe and crown holding a blue globe. She’s sitting with a child who is holding a cross. The background is a soft blue sky with light shining down on them. The woman’s robe has gold trim, and the child is dressed in simple white and brown clothes. The painting looks old, with some wear on the edges. Look up chiaroscuro next to see how light and shadow create depth.
