About this work

This painting shows a woman in bright red robes holding a small child. Both have golden halos, and the woman wears a matching red head covering with white dots. The background has green leaves, red flowers, and a faded gold border with letters. The frame is dark wood with a worn, aged look. The woman’s robe is covered in tiny white dots, which might be a way to fill in color or texture. The child holds a small cross, and the letters in the border look like early script. Look up *stippling* to see how artists use dots to create shading and detail.
