"Two Mothers," a marble sculpture by Frans Stracké, depicts a young woman carrying a child in her arms. The woman's simple clothing and sorrowful expression suggest a life of hardship, while the child's weary posture adds to the sense of pathos. The sculpture, created in 1893, is a testament to Stracké's skill in capturing the human condition, and its poignant portrayal of motherhood and its challenges resonates with viewers. The sculpture is currently located in the Rijksmuseum.

This sweet scene reflects increasing interest in the lives of fishermen. The statue shows a young woman holding her child, with her dog’s puppies gathered in her apron. Yet life is not a bed of roses for this barefoot fisherman’s wife. She has only two fish in her pouch, and the net that she drags behind her is empty.
