Seated Woman Holding Baby; Ionic Porch and Balustrade, Three Fleeting Figures (from Rubens Massacre of Innocents? Or Allegory of War) (from Sketchbook)
The image depicts a sketch of a woman seated and holding a baby. The woman is on the left side, sitting and facing left, with her legs bent, wearing a dress, and cradling the baby in her lap. She has curly hair. To the right, there are architectural elements including columns and a balustrade. In the foreground, there are three figures sketched, appearing to be fleeing or in motion, drawn with less detail. The entire sketch is rendered in pencil on a gray background, giving it a simple and study-like appearance.
