Greeting Grandmother (Le Bonjour à la Grand-mère) is a 1926 ink by Paul-Albert Besnard, held at National Gallery of Art.
The image depicts a tender moment between a man and a baby, with the man holding the baby in his arms. The scene is set in a room with a bed and a window, and the atmosphere is warm and intimate. The man's facial expression is one of love and adoration, while the baby looks up at him with curiosity. The room is sparsely furnished, with a bed and a window being the only visible features. The window lets in a soft, diffused light that illuminates the scene, creating a sense of warmth and comfort. The overall mood of the image is one of tranquility and affection, capturing a precious moment between two loved ones. This painting is reminiscent of the works of Albert Besnard, who was known for his delicate and expressive etchings.
Paul-Albert Besnard (1849–1934) was a French artist, born in 7th arrondissement of Paris.
