Description from the seller
Italian School, 20th century – Mother with children
Atmospheric figurative painting from the Italian School, 20th century, with an intimate scene of a mother with two children.
Central in the composition is a young woman in colorful clothing, with a small child on her arm holding a butterfly in the hand. On the left a second child looks over her shoulder. The mutual glances and poses give the work a warm, tranquil appearance and emphasize the bond between mother and children.
The subject and composition align with the long Italian painting tradition of the mother-and-child motif, but here depicted in a more everyday, Mediterranean setting. The warm reds, ochers, and earth tones of the clothing contrast nicely with the green of the loose, painterly background.
Particularly attractive are the carefully rendered faces and hands, while the background is painted with a looser touch. The work is executed on canvas and is provided with a richly profiled, classically executed frame that suits the painting well.
