Motherhood 1937

"Motherhood" is a 1937 pencil drawing by Mikuláš Galanda, a Czech artist. This work depicts a woman holding a child in a simplified, almost abstract style. The artist uses minimal lines and shading to create a sense of intimacy and tenderness between the mother and child. The background is equally simplified, with only a few lines suggesting the presence of a landscape. This work demonstrates Galanda's interest in depicting the human figure in a reduced and expressive manner, reflecting the artistic trends of the time.
