The majority of the detail depicted in Heintzelman's portraits can be found in the faces of the figures, creating an expressiveness that highlights the identities of both mother and child. The artist is able to define these people in different ways by emphasizing characteristics like gender, age, and family relationships. By depicting common people, the artist allows for a broader range of viewers to connect with his images. This connection is furthered by the direct gaze of each subject, establishing a relationship between the sitter and the viewer.
