Bij de kinderwagen op het strand 1880 - 1919

"Bij de kinderwagen op het strand" (By the pram on the beach), painted between 1880 and 1919 by Dutch artist Marinus van der Maarel, depicts a woman gazing intently at a baby in a pram. The woman, dressed in a pink dress, is the central figure, her focus on the sleeping child creating a tender and intimate scene. The painting is notable for its muted color palette and soft brushstrokes, typical of Van der Maarel's style. The background, blurred and featuring a glimpse of a beach scene, suggests the setting. This piece is a beautiful example of Van der Maarel's focus on domestic life and intimate moments.
