Vrouw met kind op schoot 1777 - 1779

"Vrouw met kind op schoot" is a drawing on paper by Pieter de Mare, created between 1777 and 1779. It depicts a woman seated in a chair with a child on her lap. The woman is holding a cup and looking down at the child, creating a tender moment between the two. The drawing is characterized by delicate lines and a realistic portrayal of the figures. It is a poignant example of de Mare’s mastery of capturing everyday scenes with sensitivity and detail. The drawing, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a small work measuring only 65 mm in width and 91 mm in height.
