  1. Painting of a stately woman seated on a red velvet chair in a blood-red room, a blue-white fireplace to her left. She glances down at the floor with a serene expression toward a tiny blond child—a baby—who sits on the floor tearing up paper, her pink-clad back facing the viewer.

They have fair skin, rounded cheeks, short reddish-brown hair, and are wearing a white dress with lace details and a pink ribbon, white pants with lace trim, blue shoes, a red necklace and a heart-shaped pendant. They hold a light pink rose in their left hand and a small black drawstring purse with red accents in their right hand. The background is a gradient from dark green to light green, with a floral-patterned carpet in black, brown, and red on the floor.
