Seated Woman (Mother of the Artist)

Artist: Adolph Menzel
Artwork: Seated Woman (Mother of the Artist)
Description: This artwork is a portrait of Adolph Menzel’s mother, painted in 1877. The painting is a study in contrasts: the dark background sets off the light figure of the mother, and the soft, flowing lines of her dress contrast with the hard, angular lines of the chair. The painting is a beautiful and moving portrait of a woman who is both strong and vulnerable.
