Copy after Botticelli

Julian Alden Weir

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The painting depicts a woman in a white head covering and a blue dress with red and gold trim, holding a baby. The baby wears a pink cloth around the waist and has a halo. A young man with long hair, a halo, and a red garment stands to the left. He holds a book on a pedestal. The woman and baby are positioned in the center and right, with the young man on the left. The background features trees, plants, and a gray sky. The woman's head is tilted down toward the baby, who touches her face.
