A Mother's Tears: A Moment of Comfort

More about A Mother's Tears: A Moment of Comfort

A mother with her daughter, wearing rustic clothes, sits weeping on a wooden bench while reading a letter in a dimly lit, weathered room with cracked walls, in a painting by Jean-Honoré Fragonard. The young daughter, looking up with concern, comforts her mother by placing a hand on her shoulder. The mother, dressed in a faded white shirt, blue apron, and red skirt, covers her face with her hand, a hair bun atop her head. The daughter wears a brown shirt and a blue skirt, with her hair tied in a ponytail. A dark pot hangs by a window on the left, while on the right, a wooden shelf holds a dark bowl, a pomegranate, walnuts, and a white pot. A clay pot with a wide mouth and two handles sits on the floor near the mother’s feet, next to a knife and walnuts. The floor is an earthy brown with a smooth finish.
