The Artist's Mother 1925

"The Artist's Mother," a 1925 painting by Dobri Dobrev, depicts the artist's mother in a contemplative pose. The figure, dressed in simple, worn clothing, sits with her arms resting on a wooden railing, gazing off into the distance. The muted palette and the soft lighting create a melancholic mood, suggesting a sense of quiet contemplation and a touch of sadness. This realist portrait, a testament to the enduring power of family bonds, offers a glimpse into the artist's personal life.
