The Fall Blossoms 1997

"The Fall Blossoms," painted in 1997 by Morteza Katouzian, depicts three children. The older boy carries a younger girl, while a third child stands to their right, looking down at the ground with a somber expression. The warm, muted palette and the subject matter of children lend a sense of melancholy to the work, and the painting is likely a poignant reflection on childhood innocence.
