About this work

This painting shows a woman in bright red robes holding a small child. Both have golden halos and serious faces. The background is a flat green with gold writing and patterns. The woman’s robe has gold trim, and the child wears a simple white tunic. The woman’s pose is stiff, with one hand raised slightly. The painting feels old, with some wear on the edges. Next, look up *cross-hatching* to see how artists create depth with lines.
