Portrait of a Baby

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Portrait of a Baby by Ilya Repin. A black-and-white framed portrait. The frame is rectangular with a thick border that appears worn and scratched. A baby sits in the center wearing a light-colored dress with short sleeves and a gathered skirt. The baby has light-colored hair and appears to be sitting on a patterned floor against a plain background. The baby looks directly at the viewer with a neutral expression and arms folded. The baby's legs are crossed at the ankles.
