Oil painting of a baby’s head and neck. The canvas is square and the baby’s head is prominent in the composition. She is a pale white baby with a rather a lot of wispy but smooth red hair, held back from her face by a white plastic clip in the shape of a bow, placed just behind her right temple. Her eyes are a bright sparkling blue and she’s smiling an open-mouthed, toothless baby smile. There are white stargazer lilies under her face, painted across the entire lower portion of the painting, and the background is a slightly mottled kelly green. At the lower left corner, the dark red artist’s signature reads, in all caps, “Ame Jo ‘23.”
