En mor viser tre børn en bog 1845

"En mor viser tre børn en bog" (A Mother Shows Three Children a Book), created in 1845 by Danish artist Martinus Rørbye, captures a domestic scene. The sepia tones of the pen and ink drawing create a warm and intimate atmosphere, highlighting the simple pleasures of family life. The composition focuses on a mother seated with three children around a table, one intently listening as she reads a book, the other two captivated by a doll. This small-scale drawing, typical of Rørbye's style, exemplifies his focus on capturing everyday life and the beauty of human connection.
