Vrouw wast een kind 1867 - 1890

"Vrouw wast een kind" (Woman washes a child) is an etching by Dutch artist Philip Zilcken, created between 1867 and 1890. The artwork depicts a woman seated in a dimly lit room, washing a child. The scene is intimate and domestic, with the woman’s gentle touch and the child’s vulnerable pose conveying a sense of love and care. The use of shadow and light further emphasizes the scene's emotional depth. This etching, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Zilcken’s skill in capturing everyday moments with poignant realism.
