Antonio da Trento after Parmigianino

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts two central figures within a circular frame. One figure is a woman seated in profile view, holding a child. The woman's upper body and arms are visible, as well as her delicately carved facial features and elaborate updo. She is clothed in a flowing garment. The child, shown waist-up, is facing the woman, with soft, curling hair and a hand reaching towards her. The artwork is monochrome with shades of green and white, emphasizing the intricate details of the figures and their clothing. The background features lush floral designs surrounding the figures.
