"Education" (1912) by Rik Wouters (1882-1916) is a captivating depiction of a woman teaching a young child. The painting, executed in a loose, expressive style, captures the intimacy of the moment. The warm, earthy tones of the interior create a cozy atmosphere, while the vibrant blue vase and green foliage add a touch of freshness. Wouters, known for his Fauvist-inspired paintings, masterfully employs color and brushstrokes to convey the emotional connection between the figures, showcasing a timeless theme of education and nurturing.
