This painting shows a woman and a child sitting together in simple, rough clothes. The woman holds the child close, and both have blank, round faces with no detail. Behind them, a chair with a curved back leans against a wall. To the right, a small table holds a vase with a few flowers. The brushstrokes are thick and uneven, giving the scene a rough, unfinished look. The colors are muted, mostly browns and grays, with just a hint of color in the flowers. Look up impasto to see how thick paint like this is used in other artworks.
