In The Child and the Father , Marie Ange Scala explores the profound and universal bonds between generations through a remarkably sensitive charcoal sketch. Created in 1989, this minimalist work accurately captures the raw emotion of a moment of intimacy and protection.
The father, an imposing but tender figure, watches over the child curled up against him. The charcoal, with its delicate shadows and expressive lines, gives an organic texture and immediacy to the scene. The absence of superfluous details invites the viewer to focus on the posture, body language and silent exchange of affection between the two figures.
With dimensions of 65 x 50 cm, framed by a sober black metal, this sketch is both discreet and powerful, perfect for a space dedicated to memory, introspection or family ties.
Offered at the affordable price of €400, The Child and the Father embodies timeless elegance and universal humanity.
