About this work

This painting shows a woman in bright red and blue robes holding a small child. Around them float angels with wings and halos, dressed in flowing robes of red, blue, and white. The background is filled with tiny flowers and birds, and the whole scene has a golden glow. The woman’s red headscarf has a pattern of stars, and the child holds a red flower. The colors are bold and flat, with no shading to make things look real. Next, look up stippling to see how artists create texture with dots.
