This expressive mid-century oil painting on canvas features a poignant profile of a crying child, rendered in a warm, earthy color palette of ochre, sienna, and deep umber. The artist, Babs Davidson, captures a high-contrast, dramatic moment that aligns with the popular "crying child" motif that emerged in the 1950s and 60s, a trend often associated with emotional realism and post-war sentimentality. The piece is signed "Babs Davidson" in the lower right corner and is housed in its original, minimalist wooden slat frame. Condition: The painting is in good vintage condition with visible canvas texture and some minor surface wear consistent with age; the frame shows light scuffing but remains structurally sound. Dimensions: 63.5cm x 33.5cm
