"The Motherland" by William-Adolphe Bouguereau (1883).

Motherland is an un-official term used to refer to Russia. However some other countries call their country "their motherland" meaning their own country. However if some one said "The mother Land" the person is probably referring to Russia. The word mother land is also used in a book known as "The Old Country"
