This tender work by Gobardhan Ash lends a mushy feel to one of the most common themes essayed by several artists across generations—the mother-child image, which already envelopes in itself the most tender human emotion. The duo is situated in a rural Bengal location with nebulous details of a field and a waterbody—probably a pukur or the common village pond—in the background. The soft palette of the work accentuates the emotional appeal of the work, which Ash has executed in simple, fluid lines.
