Formal theories :the painting is in oil canvas, The painting method is in brushwork. The work use an innovative  composition, the fond in the painting is in black color making a contrast with the girl's dress.  the figuer of the women with the girl in her lap make emphasis to our attention. The women's eye make a directional force making the impression that are looking us.  Contextual theories:  The painting  reflect a traditional way to dress in the old days. the image of the lady with the girls show us a fraternal feeling of love. Expressive theories:the expression is involved to the connection of love between mother and daughter.
