Brazil Original Signed Painting of a Mother and Child, "Mother with Baby"

Dressed in yellow, a young mother carries her sleeping child in a shawl tied around her midriff. Simone Valle depicts the woman in shades of sky and sunshine, subtly exploring the myriad thoughts behind the mom's quizzical expression. Satisfaction, weariness, worry and hope emanate from her dark eyes.

Titled "Mãe com bebê" in Portuguese.
