Who made this

Maemady composed this in Yekaterinburg, 24 days after Yana was born. She has six children, including Yana and Zunos. She has also lost Vridret. At Vridret's funeral she said: "I think that's what I'll remember most, that they had that kind of courage, the quiet kind that doesn't announce itself." She keeps a cat. This is one of nineteen pieces she has made, beside nine pictures.
