Analysis
The painting was made by Lucia Nicolaidou-Vasiliou, the first woman from Cyprus to study painting abroad, particularly in France. In this canvas she demonstrates the obvious influence of Paul Gauguin as shown in the areas of the forms, the theme and the symbolism. The painting stands out for its large color surfaces and for the female figures mother and daughter, symbolizing the quest for innocence, while exuding a sense of sensuality absent from the corresponding women depicted in the works of other Cypriot artists of that period.
