"Vrouw met een baby wegrennend van een woning," a lithograph by Isaac Weissenbruch, depicts a woman carrying a baby, fleeing a small cottage in the distance. The composition is focused on the figure of the woman, whose movements are emphasized by the diagonal lines of the composition. The artwork, part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, highlights the artist's focus on everyday life and social commentary, capturing the plight of a struggling family. The etching is a beautiful example of Weissenbruch's masterful use of light and shadow, creating a sense of depth and atmosphere.
