About this work

This painting shows a woman holding a small child. She wears a blue headscarf and a bright red robe with green sleeves. The child, dressed in a simple tunic, looks calm. Both have golden halos around their heads, and the background is a dark, faded blue with a few letters painted in. The woman’s robe has small star shapes woven into the fabric. The child holds what looks like a scroll or small book. The paint is flat and bright, with no shading to show depth. Look up stippling to see how artists create shading with dots.
