A Mother and her Child 1794

"A Mother and her Child" is a painting by Louis Bernard Coclers, created in 1794. The painting depicts a mother and child seated at a table, sharing a meal. The mother is dressed in a dark brown robe with a white head covering, and the child is dressed in a simple blue and white outfit. The scene is set in a dimly lit room with a fireplace in the background. The intimate portrayal of family life, common in genre painting, is captured with warmth and naturalism by Coclers, a French artist known for his depictions of domestic life.
