The title "Blue Period Motherhood" encapsulates the depiction of the profound maternal bond in the context of harsh reality, suffering, and emotional weight. The use of the monochromatic blue palette emphasizes a sense of coldness, melancholy, and isolation, even while the act of the mother embracing her child conveys a powerful, enduring love and compassion amidst adversity. The figures often resemble religious iconography of the Madonna and Child, giving the subjects a sense of universal dignity despite their poverty.
