Mutter und Kind (Mother and Child)

Wilhelm Lehmbruck

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts the full bodies of two figures, an adult and a child. The adult is in a kneeling position, holding the child in an embrace. The adult has long hair and closed eyes, while the child has short hair and closed eyes as well. Both figures are nude. The sketch is simple and uses soft lines and shading. The background is plain with slight texture from hatching.
