Mother and Child (Homage to Donatello--thank-you M. A. Mathews)

Oil on canvas (framed).

25x25x2"

I found the reference image for this figurative piece on an online forum and requested the photographer's permission to turn it into a painting. What struck me about the image was how much it looked like a pairing of mother and child that the painter Donatello would compose for his works--but in a much more contemporary setting.
