This painting shows a baby with big, dark eyes looking straight ahead. The child is wearing a light-colored cap and a soft, yellowish garment with white trim. The brushstrokes are thick, especially on the cap and cheeks, giving the painting a textured look. The baby’s expression is calm but curious, with a slight hint of a pout. The background is plain and dark, keeping all focus on the child’s face. If you like this style, look up impasto.
