Mother reads a letter from her son in the Navy whose portrait in naval uniform hangs over her This painting was executed a year after the end of the 2nd world war. It sums up the pain and suffering that must have been gone through by all the mothers of the country when their children were taken away to fight and die for King and Country. The joy of receiving a letter from a loved one must have been the most significant event even here after the end of hostilities.
