"Maori Mother and Child" is a notable painting by Bohemian-born New Zealand artist Gottfried Lindauer, who is renowned for his portraits of Māori people. Created in the late 19th century, this work is part of a series of paintings by Lindauer that capture the essence of Māori culture and individuals during a period of significant cultural transition and colonial impact in New Zealand.

The painting depicts a Māori mother holding her child, both adorned in traditional Māori garments, with the mother wearing a finely woven cloak known as a korowai. The mother's moko kauae, or traditional chin tattoo, is prominently featured, signifying her status and tribal identity. The child is also wrapped in a cloak, symbolizing the passing of cultural heritage from one generation to the next.

Lindauer's attention to detail and his respectful portrayal of his subjects have made "Maori Mother and Child" an important historical record of Māori life and customs. The painting is celebrated for its technical skill and for providing a visual documentation of the Māori people, who were experiencing rapid social changes during Lindauer's time.

This work is part of Lindauer's broader impact on New Zealand art and cultural history, as he worked closely with Māori patrons and used photography to ensure the accuracy of his portraits. "Maori Mother and Child" is not only a testament to Lindauer's artistic talent but also serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of preserving indigenous cultures and identities.

The painting is held in high esteem within both the art community and among the Māori people, and it continues to be exhibited as a key piece in understanding New Zealand's bicultural heritage. It is a significant contribution to the visual arts and to the historical record of the Māori people, offering insight into the personal and cultural dimensions of the subjects portrayed.
