Mother Breastfeeding Her Infant Analysis
This sculpture, created by Avard Fairbanks, depicts a mother breastfeeding her infant. Carved in 1973, this shows the commitment that a mother may make to a child. A mother has the capacity to bring new life into the world as well as nourish that life. In this sculpture, we can see that very clearly. As we know, breastfeeding itself has the capacity to advance life and provide what an infant needs to grow and develop. This artwork is a sculpture so there is no context regarding socioeconomic status or living conditions. Since this sculpture uses a subtractive method, it is evident that this piece was well thought out, as it was modeled and then crafted.

This artwork shows a mother and her child on a boat. It was made during the impressionism / modern art era.

It is almost as though the mother seems to be more concerned with whatever even is ahead of her and not her child’s comfort. Their body language does not seem very loving or warm, although they appear to be well nourished as well. The oil of canvas method offers great variations and flexibility in terms of color. In addition, one can create differing depths of each color as well.This portrait of Lela Baker and Daughter Dorothy is a photograph that was created using platinum print. This photographs subject is Lela Baker, a mother and her daughter Dorothy. It is unknown whether or not Dorothy is the infant or the toddler next to Lela. The theme is genre, or everyday life. The tones of sepia point to the timeline of its origin, 1910. This photo showcases motherhood, front and center, by displaying a mother and her children. Lela is tending to her infant with the company of her toddler, which was very common during this time. This shows the demands of motherhood, the presence of a woman being crucial to the development and care of her children. In this photo, they appear well kempt, happy, and nourished. This is only one example of motherhood. The lighting in this photo seems to highlight the infant, with the mother in the shadows, which may represent motherhood and its demanding
