Moeder met kind 1875 - 1934

"Moeder met kind" is a charcoal drawing on paper by Dutch artist Isaac Israels, created between 1875 and 1934. The artwork, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, depicts a mother cradling a child in her arms. The composition is dominated by the child, whose face is rendered with expressive detail, emphasizing their youthful innocence. The mother's figure is partially obscured, creating a sense of intimacy and connection between the two subjects. The artist's use of charcoal highlights the soft contours of the figures, resulting in a poignant and emotive portrait of motherhood.
