1893
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Mother and Child, No. 1 is a 1893 by James McNeill Whistler, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a woman sitting on the ground, holding a child close. She’s wearing a loose coat and a hat, and the child leans against her. The background is rough lines—maybe trees or bushes—and the whole scene feels quick and sketchy, like it was drawn fast. The artist used loose, rough strokes to show movement instead of perfect details. This style was common in Impressionism, where artists focused on quick impressions over fine details.
