EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print by Utamaro, Kitagawa showcases a tender moment between a mother and her child. Created around 1800-04, the artwork depicts a scene of maternal love and care that transcends time. In the image, we see a mother nursing her baby in front of a mirror stand. The reflection in the mirror adds an intriguing element to the composition, as it allows us to witness this intimate act from multiple perspectives. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, capturing not only the physical bond between mother and child but also their emotional connection. The traditional Japanese setting is beautifully portrayed through the mother's attire – she wears an elegant kimono which further emphasizes her role as both nurturer and protector. This piece serves as a testament to the timeless nature of breastfeeding and its significance within different cultures. Housed at San Diego Museum of Art, this woodblock print was generously bequeathed by Mrs. Cora Timken Burnett. Its presence within their collection highlights its artistic value and cultural importance. Utamaro's portrayal of this maternal scene reminds us of the universal experience shared by mothers throughout history – nurturing their children with unconditional love. It serves as a poignant reminder that some moments are truly timeless and can be appreciated across generations.
