About this work

This drawing shows a man holding a small child. The man wears a red robe and a blue sash, with a golden halo around his head. The child is dressed in a blue garment and also has a halo. Both figures look calm, and the man holds a bouquet of flowers. The background is bright and flat, with big yellow circles and red shapes that look like suns or flowers. The colors are simple and bold, with no shading to show depth. Look up *festoon* next to see how flowers and garlands were used in other art.
