Genre
Mother & Child
The mother and child is the most enduring composition in Western painting, learned from the Madonna and carried into the secular nursery. The bond of the seated woman and the held infant gave artists a subject of tenderness and weight, from gold-ground altarpieces to the domestic scenes of Cassatt.
