A pencil illustration I did showing different variations of the “Mother and Child” artistic motif across time and space. The first mother is from Neolithic Africa and is inspired by various African “maternity figures”. The second is the ancient Egyptian goddess Isis with her son Horus, also based on sculptural representations. The third is the Biblical Miriam of Nazareth with baby Yeshua, and the fourth is a medieval Europeanized version of Mary and Jesus.
