Its soft, blended painting style gives this portrait of a mother and child a gentler feel than sharper, more formal likenesses. Images of a parent holding a young child have been made for centuries, from devotional Madonna and Child panels to the domestic scenes of the 19th century, when artists such as Mary Cassatt made everyday closeness between mothers and children a central subject. Works like this often favor tenderness over exact detail, so attention tends to settle on the gestures and glances between the two figures.
