About this work

This painting shows a crowd of people around a baby in a basket. A woman lifts the baby out while others watch. Rich colors fill the scene. Rubens often painted big, dramatic stories like this. The faces and clothes feel real. He used bold brushstrokes to make textures pop. Check out more of Rubens’ work at the Museum of Ethnography.
