A brief annotation

For many women motherhood is the highest value in life. Mother always remains a special person for us, and the bond with her is unique. The painting «Three Ages of Woman» by Gustav Klimt depicts a young sleeping woman cradling the baby to her chest. The little child is her inseparable part. This scene is full of warmth, affection, care and tranquility. It is a beautiful representation of mother and her baby, full of gentleness, kindness and love. The picture evokes nostalgia for the carefree moments of childhood and longing for the warmth of family home.
