Thomasin,
There are many cute baby portraits (I guess because there are many cute babies) but few artists would risk the level of control to allow the watercolor to get watery and flow together and do unexpected things the way it does naturally. What has happened is the creation of a portrait of an interesting human being who happens to be a baby. The look in his eyes is quite extraordinary. I especially like the brushtrokes and color in the light areas of his forehead and bald top, (our) right cheek, and chin area.
