Zittende vrouw met baby bij een open raam c. 1824 - 1875

"Zittende vrouw met baby bij een open raam" (Seated Woman with a Baby by an Open Window) is a charcoal drawing by the French artist Jean-François Millet, known for his depictions of peasant life. Created between 1824 and 1875, this intimate scene portrays a woman, likely a mother, holding a child in her lap by a window, highlighting the simple yet profound moments of everyday life. The drawing's soft lines and subtle shading evoke a sense of quiet contemplation and the bond between parent and child. This piece is housed in the Rijksmuseum, a testament to Millet's enduring legacy and his ability to capture the essence of humanity through his art.
