Mother and Child 1906

"Mother and Child" (1906) by Lovis Corinth depicts a mother reclining on a bed, her body partially draped in a white sheet, while her young son stands next to her, holding onto a piece of fabric. The scene is rendered in a bold and expressive style characteristic of Corinth's work, with vibrant brushstrokes and a focus on capturing the intimacy of the moment. The painting exemplifies Corinth's exploration of themes of motherhood and family, often depicted with a sense of both tenderness and realism.
