Mother and child 

Paula Modersohn-Becker's "Mother and Child" portrays a woman holding a young child, her nude form emphasizing the maternal bond. The painting showcases Modersohn-Becker's signature style, characterized by bold brushstrokes and earthy tones. The simplified forms and expressive lines contribute to the painting's powerful depiction of motherhood, a theme that resonated deeply with the artist, who tragically died young.
