About this work

This painting shows a woman holding a small child. She wears a blue robe with gold trim and a red sash. The child is dressed in a yellow tunic and red undergarments. Both have dark hair and serious faces. Behind them, a golden background has small dots and a faint landscape with trees and hills. The woman’s crown and the child’s small cross suggest they might be religious figures. The painting looks old, with some paint worn away, especially on the edges. If you like this style, look up Renaissance.
