Zogende moeder 1847 - 1865

"Zogende moeder" (Nursing Mother), an 1847-1865 lithograph by Dutch artist Anthonie van Volkom (1821-1860), depicts a woman seated and nursing a child while another child rests nearby. The scene is set in a simple interior, illuminated by sunlight streaming through a window, adding a soft, intimate feel to the artwork. Van Volkom's work often focused on domestic scenes, showcasing the daily lives of ordinary people. The print, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to the artist's sensitive portrayal of motherhood and familial bonds.
