About this work

This painting shows a woman in bright red and blue robes holding a small child. Behind her head is a golden circle with a cross. Two smaller figures with halos float in the background, one on each side. The woman’s robes are folded in stiff, flat lines, and her face has a calm, serious look. The colors are bold and simple, with no shading. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how artists create depth with lines.
