About the piece
Painted in 1824 by Jean-Augustin Franquelin, this evocative work depicts Evirchoma in a moment of quiet strength against a turbulent coastal backdrop. The masterful use of chiaroscuro highlights the tender connection between mother and child, while the gathering storm clouds add a sense of epic narrative and Romantic grandeur.
