Description de l’image
The artwork shows a scene of a mother holding a child. The mother is shown from the side, seated, with her body turned towards the child whom she is embracing. Her hair is dark and neatly styled, and she is wearing a long dress with a floral pattern in shades of green and red. The child, lightly clothed, is seated on the mother's lap, facing her, and they are sharing a kiss. The background is a soft, light blue. The composition shows the mother and child.
