Interieur met een moeder en een kind aan een tafel 1854 - 1914

This is a preliminary sketch by Albert Neuhuys, a Dutch painter known for his genre scenes and portraits, for a larger painting. The drawing depicts a mother and child seated at a table, the composition suggesting a domestic scene of everyday life. Neuhuys often depicted scenes of everyday life in his work, making him a prominent artist of the Dutch Realist movement. This sketch highlights the preparatory nature of his artistic process, capturing the essence of his subjects in loose, expressive lines, which are characteristic of preliminary sketches.
