Jonge vrouw en kind op bed 1831 - 1890

"Jonge vrouw en kind op bed" is a black and white etching by Belgian artist Jean Baptiste Pierre Michiels, created between 1831 and 1890. The artwork depicts a young woman lying on a bed with a child by her side. The woman appears to be asleep or in a state of deep contemplation, while the child reaches out towards her. The etching is a powerful image of motherhood and the bond between a mother and her child. The artwork's intimate subject matter and realistic detail have resonated with audiences throughout the centuries. Michiels' signature appears in the lower right corner of the image, and the work is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
