Maternity 1924

"Maternity," a 1924 painting by Camil Ressu, portrays a mother cradling her child in a tender embrace. The woman is depicted with a loving expression, and the child rests its head against her shoulder, suggesting a close bond. The composition is intimate and focused on the figures, with the artist using brushstrokes to capture the softness of the subject's skin and the folds of their clothing. Ressu's "Maternity" is a heartfelt and moving depiction of the universal theme of motherhood.
