EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative set of sketches, created in 1922 by the talented hand of Muriel Dawson, captures the tender moments between mothers and their young children in the 1920s. The monochrome palette of ink and wash adds depth and texture to the delicate lines and forms, transporting us back in time. Muriel Dawson's skillful use of ink and wash creates a sense of intimacy and warmth in each scene. In one sketch, a mother cradles her toddler in a wickerwork chair, her expression one of love and contentment as her child gazes up at her with curious eyes. In another, a mother bends over her child, gently brushing a stray lock of hair from their face. The bond between mother and child is palpable, and the sketches serve as a poignant reminder of the enduring connection between them. These sketches offer a glimpse into the past, providing a historical record of the role of mothers in the early 20th century. The use of sepia tones adds to the nostalgic feel, further emphasizing the historical significance of the images. The simplicity of the compositions and the focus on the relationship between mother and child make these sketches timeless, and they continue to resonate with viewers today.
