Motherhood

Description

Author: Yesenbayev, Orazbek. 1960
A decorative animalier composition featuring a close-up depiction of a cow and a calf resting beneath her. The silhouette of the cow arches over the calf, evoking a sense of maternal protection. The sweeping curve of the neck, back, and tail creates a sense of compositional closure. Built upon broad color planes, the work is enhanced by delicate stippled detailing on individual elements.
