Title: Mother (C. 2004) Medium: Oil on canvas Signature: Signed lower right, titled, dated & inscribed (In remembrance of my mother, died 28.12.03, I miss you very much) on reverse Provenance: Private Collection Unframed. Description This deeply personal painting by Mary Theresa Keown is a poignant tribute titled Mother, created in remembrance of the artist’s own mother. The composition depicts an elderly woman reclining within a quiet domestic interior, surrounded by symbols of memory and comfort — notably a cabinet filled with pairs of shoes, each perhaps representing a different stage of life. The scene unfolds with a mixture of realism and gentle surrealism, rendered in cool, muted tones that underscore its emotional weight. Signed, titled, and inscribed verso, the painting is a powerful, autobiographical meditation on loss, memory, and love.
