Suffering of Mother
Description
Composition in blue tones, ochre, gray, black and white. Drawing all dashed giving idea of texture, draping and volume. Figure of kneeling woman, cuddled with child standing in front, occupying almost the entire area of the composition. Woman is kneeling on his on the left leg, diagonally from the left to the right and front to back, with the front trunk, head tilts on the right cheek resting on his on the right hand whose palm is over the child's head. And has black curly hair, long to the shoulder and physiognomic traits outlined. Wears blue clothes at the ankles. The child is squalid, is standing in front, his face covered by cloth holding with both hands, leaving the bare legs. In the background some touches of white skirting the woman's head, down to the child's body on the right side margin.
