Woman with a child 1710 - 1780

"Woman with a Child" is a delicate pencil drawing by Francesco La Marra, created between 1710 and 1780, and currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst. The composition depicts a woman cradling a child in her arms, their faces close together, radiating warmth and tenderness. La Marra's masterful use of line and shading creates a sense of intimacy and affection, capturing the beauty of this simple yet powerful human bond. The drawing, with its subtle, flowing lines, is a testament to the artist's skill in rendering emotion through a minimalist aesthetic.
