The artwork, titled “Mother and Child,” was created by Clarence White in 1919. This piece is a part of the Pictorialism art movement and belongs to the genre of photography.
The artwork portrays a tender and intimate moment between a mother and her child. Bathed in soft light, the figures are partially obscured, creating a dreamlike, almost ethereal atmosphere. The gentle composition and the play of light and shadow emphasize the emotional bond and serene intimacy of the scene, characteristic of the Pictorialist approach to photography, which sought to imbue images with a painterly quality and profound emotional resonance.
