Mother of the artist 1904

"Mother of the artist" is a 1904 watercolor portrait by Armenian artist Martiros Sarian. The painting features a close-up view of an older woman with a somber expression. Her face is partially obscured by the dark shadow of her hat, creating an atmosphere of mystery and introspection. Sarian's brushstrokes are loose and expressive, resulting in a painting that is both realistic and evocative. This portrait, a heartfelt tribute to Sarian's mother, is a testament to his artistic mastery and captures the intimate bond between artist and subject.
