Maternity is a 1906 unspecified by Julio González, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya.
The painting depicts a woman holding a baby, with the woman's face turned to the side and her eyes cast downward. The woman's hair is styled in a short, curly bob, and she wears a white shawl draped over her shoulders. In the background, two buildings are visible, one with a window and the other with a door. The painting features muted colors, with shades of brown and gray dominating the palette. The brushstrokes are visible, giving the painting a textured appearance. This painting is reminiscent of the works of Julio González, a Spanish artist known for his exploration of light and shadow.
Julio González i Pellicer (21 September 1876 – 27 March 1942), born in Barcelona, was a Spanish sculptor and painter who developed the expressive use of iron as a medium for modern sculpture.
