Lot description
Tender pastel composition by French artist Charles Maurin, entitled Mere Faisant Boire Son Enfant (Seated Mother Feeding Her Naked Child From a Glass) depicting an intimate domestic scene of a mother carefully feeding a young child. With soft modeling and gentle color tones, Maurin captures a moment of maternal care on a red velvet sofa, rendered with quiet emotion and technical sensitivity. Charles Maurin was a French Symbolist and Impressionist painter, engraver, and pastellist associated with the artistic circles of Montmartre in the late 19th century. He studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and was a friend and mentor to Felix Vallotton and Toulouse-Lautrec. Maurin is best known for his sensitive portrayals of women and children, often exploring themes of intimacy, motherhood, and social realism. His works are held in several public collections, including the Musee d'Orsay in Paris. Signed Maurin in the lower left. Displayed under glass in a gold-tone wood frame with double matting.
