Mother and Children 

"Mother and Children" is a delicate drawing by Charles Haslewood Shannon, executed in red chalk on paper. The image captures a tender moment between a mother and her child, rendered with soft, flowing lines that accentuate their connection. Shannon, known for his sensitive portrayals of domesticity, uses a minimalist approach, emphasizing the figures' postures and gestures over elaborate details. This artwork is characteristic of Shannon's style, which often depicts figures in intimate and contemplative settings, reflecting the social and cultural values of his time.
