Mother and Child, Seated 1952

"Mother and Child, Seated" is a 1952 woodcut by Norwegian artist Vera Myhre (1872-2011). The stark black and white composition depicts a mother and child in a simplified, almost abstract style, characteristic of woodcut printing. The lines of the woodcut create a sense of depth and form, with the figures appearing to be enveloped in a dark and shadowy space. The artwork captures the intimate bond between mother and child, a recurring theme in Myhre's work.
