In a dark room little tiny fingers softly caress the face of a mother. His other hand holds an apple as small as him. With red cheeks and soft brown eyes the baby stares lovingly at his mother’s face while he is curled up naked in her arms. A blanket lightly caresses his back while a cushion finds comfort under his bottom. The mother gently holds the baby and gives into his touch. One hand lightly positioned on his back and the other under the blanket barely touching his feet. She looks down with eyes of admiration. Her features are fair, making her appear as if she is angelic. Her smooth face does not crease one bit. They treat each other so delicately. Its like one or the other might break. The love radiates through the picture.
Madonna Col Bambino by Pampeo Batoni
