The figure of the girl, a symbol of innocence and hope, complements the composition with her gaze and posture, suggesting a deep bond between mother and son.

Thus, it enrolls in a broader tradition where everyday life becomes a central theme, and where the figures that inhabit the canvas carry stories that resonate through generations.
