Gezin met kind bij een dokter die een flesje vloeistof tegen het licht houdt 1829 - 1885

"Gezin met kind bij een dokter die een flesje vloeistof tegen het licht houdt" (Family with child at a doctor who holds a bottle of liquid against the light), created between 1829 and 1885 by Willem (I) Linnig (1819-1885), is a black and white etching depicting a family visiting a doctor. The doctor, seen in the background, holds a bottle of liquid up to the light. The family, including a woman holding a child, are seated in the foreground. The composition is set in an interior with gothic-style architectural features. The detailed etching and strong use of light and shadow create a sense of depth and realism. The scene is a testament to Linnig’s skill in capturing everyday moments with a touch of drama and emotion. This etching, part of the Rijksmuseum collection, is a powerful example of 19th-century Dutch Realism.
