Markense vrouw met kind op de arm 1874 - 1945

"Markense vrouw met kind op de arm" (Marken Woman with Child on Her Arm) is a watercolor painting by Dutch artist Carel Adolph Lion Cachet, created between 1874 and 1945. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a woman with a child in her arms, possibly a mother and her daughter, standing in front of a fence against a soft, cloudy sky. Cachet's use of muted tones and atmospheric washes creates a sense of intimacy and vulnerability, evoking a moment of quiet contemplation. The artwork is a poignant portrayal of everyday life in the Netherlands, capturing the essence of motherhood and domesticity.
