About this work

This painting shows two figures side by side. The person on the right holds a small child, both dressed in dark robes with gold accents. Their faces are calm, and the woman wears a red head covering with a gold border. The paint is faded, with some areas chipped away, showing the wood underneath. The woman’s hand rests gently on the child’s shoulder, while her other hand holds a small object with a star shape. The background is plain gold, focusing all attention on the two figures.
