Mother and Child was painted by Stan Walicke in 1948 as stated on the painting. I cannot find any information on this artist. you can tell the artist painted a while by the fine strokes of his paint brush. I love it. As a mom I remember the time when my child was young. There is a c shape tear that is not seen to the visible eye. You would need to turn the painting around to see it. Because of the age and subject matter. the price is 8,000.00 But you can make me an offer.
