Works of art that reflect the mother-and-child theme evoke specific responses from observers – be it personal or through the artist himself. Most mother-and-child art places its focus on the relationship, as seen in this piece. The facial features are relaxed, as mother and child are caught in a tender, untouched moment.
The piece is simple, but heavy with meaning – that mothers are always holding their children close to them. The overall mood of this piece is sentimental and familial, while exuding both serenity and stability.
