Mystical Mother and Child Serigraph by Arana

This item is a serigraph, also known as a silk-screen print, titled and signed by the artist Arana. The artwork depicts a mystical or allegorical scene featuring a large, ethereal female figure and a small child. The female figure dominates the central composition, characterized by a pale complexion, undefined eye sockets giving a dreamlike or blind appearance, and flowing, windswept white hair that extends dynamically across the top of the image. She wears a draped, dark green garment that falls in soft folds across her body. Her left hand is raised, palm slightly open, as if in a gesture of greeting or a gentle caress. The small child, positioned in the lower-left foreground, is shown from the back and side, gazing upwards intently at the larger figure. The child has curly brown hair tied with what appears to be a black bow and wears a rust-orange long-sleeved shirt over a darker garment. The background is dark and indistinct on the left, but shifts to a warm red tone on the right, where a small balcony or window with diminutive figures is visible, creating a sense of depth and an interior setting. The overall mood is one of quiet contemplation and perhaps wonder. The print shows vibrant color saturation, indicative of a quality serigraph. The signature 'Arana' is visible in the lower right corner, along with what appears to be an edition number (e.g., '67/250') in the lower left, confirming its status as a limited-edition art print. The visible white border suggests it is still unframed or has been removed from a frame. There are no immediate visible signs of damage, creases, or significant wear; the print appears to be in good condition. The style is distinctly figurative with elements of surrealism or magical realism, characteristic of late 20th-century art prints. The craftsmanship appears high, with smooth color transitions and sharp details.
