About the piece

Painted in 1917, 'Maria and Baby' is a striking example of Robert Henri's ability to capture the dignity and warmth of his subjects. Part of his celebrated portraits from the American Southwest, this work is defined by its rich, saturated palette—notably the deep crimson of Maria's clothing against a cool, atmospheric blue backdrop—and the artist's characteristic fluid, confident brushwork.
