About the piece
Created in 1912 by Lucílio de Albuquerque, this Brazilian masterpiece portrays the figure of the 'Mãe Preta' (Black Mother). The work is celebrated for its warm, naturalistic lighting and the quiet dignity with which it treats its subjects, utilizing a muted palette of pinks, ochres, and deep shadows to create a restful yet powerful domestic scene.
