Og Moderen så ned i sit Skød, og tårerne løb hende over Kinderne... 1898

Fritz Syberg's "Og Moderen så ned i sit Skød, og tårerne løb hende over Kinderne..." (1898) is a poignant drawing that captures the raw emotion of a mother grieving. Created in pen and ink, the artwork depicts a woman sitting in a chair, her head bowed in sorrow, as a figure exits through the doorway. The starkness of the lines and the somber atmosphere of the scene evoke a sense of melancholy and loss. Syberg's drawing is a powerful testament to the universality of human emotions and the ability of art to convey them with profound honesty.
