About this work

This painting shows a woman in a blue headscarf and red-and-blue robes, holding a baby. Behind her, a small cross scene plays out: a figure on a cross with a building and red flowers nearby. The colors are bright—reds, blues, and greens—with a border of roses and a gold halo around her head. The woman’s face is calm but serious, while the cross scene looks dramatic. The painting mixes flat colors with some simple shading, giving it a folk-art feel. If you like this style, check out Realism next—it focuses on everyday life and plain details.
