Ask anything

  • saar asked

    what is this painting about?

  • Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen answered

    Hi Saar, Charlie asked me the same thing. I answered him that we do not call this a painting, but a print print (in fact it is an etching). What you see is the depiction of Gaya (in German Gäa) or Mother Earth as a huge woman. She is sleeping but still people can rely on her. Kind regards, Els
