Mother and child 1927

Created in 1927 by Russian artist Kuzma Petrov-Vodkin, “Mother and Child” is a poignant portrayal of motherhood. The painting, likely a depiction of the artist’s wife and son, showcases a close-up view of their faces, highlighting their expressions of love and tenderness. The use of muted tones and soft lighting contributes to the work’s intimate and touching atmosphere, solidifying Petrov-Vodkin’s place within the Russian Avant-garde movement.
