Mother and Child 1900

"Mother and Child" is an intimate portrayal of domestic life by French artist Édouard Vuillard, known for his contributions to the Nabis movement. Created in 1900, the painting captures a mother and child in a simple interior, their forms rendered with loose brushstrokes and a focus on color and light. Vuillard's signature style, characterized by flat planes and decorative patterns, is evident in the wallpaper and the woman's vibrant red coat, contrasting with the child's white dress. This work exemplifies Vuillard's exploration of everyday moments and the subtle emotional connections within families.
