The simplified forms and bold lines, created with a combination of watercolor and pencil, convey a sense of emotional intensity. The composition emphasizes the close relationship between the woman and child, highlighted by their intertwined bodies and shared gaze. Pechstein's work often explored themes of family and everyday life, reflecting the social changes and anxieties of the early 20th century.
