In the Victorian era, it was common for mothers to be depicted in portraits alongside their children, often in a way that blended them into the background or as part of the composition rather than as distinct figures. This artistic choice reflected societal norms that emphasized motherhood and the nurturing role of women, while simultaneously reinforcing a sense of self-sacrifice and subservience. Such portrayals allowed mothers to symbolically embody their children's identities, reinforcing the idea that their primary role was to support and nurture their offspring. Additionally, this practice mirrored the era's aesthetic preferences, favoring idealized and sentimental representations of family life.
