About this work

This sketch shows a woman holding a baby while sitting on a bench. Behind them, a fence and a dark, textured background suggest a park or yard. The lines are rough and scratchy, giving it a sketchy, unfinished feel. The artist used quick, uneven strokes to create movement and mood. The title is written right on the image: *Mother and Children*. Check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see this work in person.
