My Mother

About this work

This painting depicts a woman standing in front of a house, dressed in a long black coat and head covering. She holds a bouquet of red flowers in her right hand. The background features a white house with a green door and windows, surrounded by a lush green lawn. The woman's attire and the bouquet she holds suggest a sense of solemnity and respect. The artist's use of muted colors and soft brushstrokes creates a somber atmosphere, drawing the viewer's attention to the subject.
