Description
Angelos Theodoropoulos captures the portrait of a female figure with her head tilted to the left (toward the viewer), holding her child in her arms. She is depicted up to the waist, as the lower part of her body is not visible due to the presence of a flat surface (probably a table). Mofes are rendered with rough black outlines, while depth is abstractly rendered with vertical parallel lines. It would not be amiss to overlook the reference of the attitude of the woman and the child to that of Panagia Glykofiloussa. Possibly these two dimensions are related to the period when these engravings were made, as it is a post-gender Greece, where passions are intense and wounds are open. Finally, the artist may be influenced by the strong emotional and morphological scenes of German Expressionism.
