Description

The charm of this luminous painting is found in it's vibrant subject matter and the fine rendering of the faces and hands.

The sensitive portrayal of the boy (or is it a girl?), captures a youthful hesitation as the mother reaches out to her child; or perhaps this is a teacher advising her student.

The bond between the two figures is the basis of the painting's composition and the woman's outreached hand is placed in the geometrical centre of the picture.
