About this work

This round image shows a woman holding a baby. Two winged figures stand on either side, each holding a bundle wrapped in cloth. The woman wears a long dress with tight horizontal stripes, and the baby looks up at her. The background has a fancy border with swirls and leaves. The woman’s face is calm, while the baby reaches toward her. The angels seem to be watching them closely. The whole scene is drawn in strong black lines with no color. Look up Renaissance next to see how this style shaped art.
