Mother and Child 1911

"Mother and Child" is a 1911 etching by British artist Francis Dodd (1874-1949). The work portrays a mother cradling her child in her arms, her face resting gently on the child's head. Dodd's use of meticulous crosshatching and stippling creates a sense of depth and texture in the figures and their clothing. This touching portrayal of maternal love is a testament to Dodd's skill as a printmaker and his ability to capture the tenderness of human connection in a single image.
