Portrait of Madame de la Laurencie and children

The canvas holds a quiet afternoon in 1904. A woman sits at the center, her form a soft anchor amidst a sea of pale blues and creamy whites.

While the subject matter depicts a mother and child, the composition functions as a traditional Catholic icon of the Virgin Mary, reimagined within the domestic setting of a nineteenth-century French home.
