More about this artwork
On our website, we proudly feature "Mother and Child (recto)" by Paul Gauguin, a poignant sketch dating back to the 1870s that beautifully captures the serene bond between a mother and her child. This delicate pencil drawing, rendered on a naturally textured paper, shows the simplicity and elegance of maternal affection. The gentle lines depict the mother holding her child close, enveloping the infant in a loving embrace. The subtlety of the artwork, highlighted by the sparse use of detail, invites viewers to fill in the emotional depth and narrative with their own perceptions and experiences of such a universal bond. Gauguin’s artistry in this piece not only portrays the physical connection but also translates the timeless and transcendent nature of a mother's love.

Eugène Henri Paul Gauguin was a French Post-Impressionist artist. Unappreciated until after his death, Gauguin is now recognized for his experimental use of color and Synthetist style that were distinct from Impressionism. Toward the end of his life, he spent ten years in French Polynesia. The paintings from this time depict people or landscapes from that region.
