Mother and Children is a 1900 ink by Charles Haslewood Shannon, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a woman sitting and holding a child close. Another child sits near her feet, reaching for something. In the corner, a few flowers are drawn loosely. The lines are soft and quick, like a quick sketch. The artist used a red pencil on light paper, making the whole scene feel warm and simple. The drawing looks like it was made fast, almost like a note to remember a moment. Want to see more work like this? Check out lithography.
