$500–$4,000. Common subjects: $500–$1,500. Key value factors: Kawano's early death at 49 limits her output. Her dreamlike figure prints are most sought after.
Mother and child — among Kawano's most celebrated and frequently reproduced subjects — is here given an intimate title that invites the viewer to experience the image as an emotional rather than merely formal statement. The mother's sheltering form and the child she holds create an interlocking composition of mutual dependence and tenderness. Western collectors often compared these images to Madonna and child paintings in the European tradition, finding in Kawano's bold graphic language a universal language of maternal love.
