About the piece

Created around 1910 by Paule Gobillard, this oil painting depicts Madame Paul Valéry and her son Claude in a domestic setting. Gobillard, who was the niece of Berthe Morisot and was influenced by Renoir, employs a vibrant yet delicate Impressionist palette to convey the intimate bond between mother and child.
