Portrait of Woman and Child

Jean-Baptiste Frénet

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two individuals from the waist up. The person on the left is seated while the person on the right is standing and leaning towards the seated individual. The seated person has dark, neatly styled hair pulled back and is wearing a pair of earrings. They have a composed expression and are dressed in a dark-colored garment with white collar and long sleeves. They are holding a white flower. The standing individual has hair pulled back and seems to be interacting with the seated person. They are wearing a light-colored, striped dress with a shawl-like design around the shoulders. Both individuals are set against a blurred foliage backdrop.
