Notice please that it more often happens,
that the artist place the mother to the left side of the picture than to the right..
It is a psychological effect , the world is to the left and home is to the right side.
When the mother sits in the left side she protects .
If she sits in the right she let the child have a certain freedom.
I speculated if another reason could be that we mothers carry the baby on our left side,
so we have the right arm free to do things with.
So perhaps the few painting with mothers in the left side of the picture
actually show left handed mothers?
