"Young Mother" is a study for a painting by the French Symbolist artist Eugène Carrière, created in preparation for his submission to the Salon of 1879. Carrière, renowned for his evocative and often intimate portrayals of family life, frequently explored themes of motherhood and the familial bond in his work. This study exemplifies his characteristic use of a muted, monochromatic palette and his focus on the emotional connection between figures rather than on detailed representation.

The Salon, an official art exhibition of the Académie des Beaux-Arts in Paris, was the preeminent art event in the 19th century, and artists like Carrière would often prepare extensively for their submissions. A "study" in art is a preliminary drawing or painting that helps an artist work out ideas and composition before the final piece is created. These studies are invaluable for understanding an artist's creative process and can be considered artworks in their own right.

Eugène Carrière's work is often compared to that of his contemporaries, such as Edouard Manet and Edgar Degas, for its impressionistic elements, but Carrière's unique approach to color and form gives his work a distinct place in the art historical canon. The study for "Young Mother" would have served as a blueprint for the larger, more refined painting intended for the Salon audience. It would have allowed Carrière to experiment with the arrangement of figures, the play of light and shadow, and the emotional resonance of the scene.

While the final version of "Young Mother" presented at the Salon of 1879 would have been the culmination of Carrière's efforts, the study itself provides a fascinating insight into the artist's method and the intimate, tender subject matter that defines much of his oeuvre. The whereabouts or existence of the final painting may not be well-documented, but the study remains a testament to Carrière's skill and his dedication to capturing the essence of familial love.
