Gezin met kind in rolwagentje 1766

This etching, created in 1766 by Dutch artist Hendrik Nieuwenhuysen, depicts a family scene with a father, mother, and three children. The father sits on a stool while holding one child, while the mother stands behind him and interacts with another child. A third child in a wheeled walker completes the composition. The scene is a testament to the importance of family in 18th-century Dutch society. This work is a fine example of genre painting, a popular style of art in the Netherlands during the 17th and 18th centuries. "Gezin met kind in rolwagentje" showcases Nieuwenhuysen's talent for capturing the everyday life of ordinary people. The etching can be found at the Rijksmuseum.
