Mother and Child
1938

A detailed etching depicting a tender moment between a mother and child. The mother, seated and slightly turned to the left, embraces her child with a protective and loving gesture. The child, nestled close to the mother's chest, appears calm and comforted. Intricate lines create a backdrop of tangled branches, adding a sense of depth and texture to the composition. The artwork conveys a strong sense of maternal affection and security.
