About this work

The painting depicts a woman in an orange robe with a green headscarf, holding a child. The woman's head is surrounded by a halo, and she wears a crown. The child is dressed in a yellow robe and white skirt. In the background, two angels are visible, one on each side of the woman. The painting is framed in dark wood. The woman's expression is serious, and her gaze is directed downward. The child looks up at her with a gentle expression. The angels in the background appear to be praying or singing. The painting is a religious depiction, possibly of the Virgin Mary and the Christ child. To learn more about this style of art, look up the subject "halo".
