Description
This enigmatic image portrays a mother attending to her child who is sprawled on the ground in a public park. The monumental size of the pair compared with other visitors to the park is characteristic of the artist’s manipulation of scale and perspective.- Private Lives: Home and Family in the Art of the Nabis, Paris, 1889–1900.
