Man en vrouw met kind bij deur van huis 1849 - 1917

"Man en vrouw met kind bij deur van huis" (Man and Woman with Child at the Door of a House), an etching by Matthijs Maris, is a poignant depiction of a family gathered outside a humble dwelling. The subdued tones and meticulous detail create a sense of intimacy and quiet contemplation. The work, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Maris's mastery of atmospheric realism, drawing the viewer into the everyday lives of his subjects.
