"Moeder met kind in omhelzing" is an etching by Belgian artist George Minne, created between 1876 and 1941. The artwork depicts a mother and child in a tender embrace, their bodies contoured with delicate lines and shaded with subtle detail. Minne's signature style is characterized by elongated figures and a somber mood, reflecting his exploration of themes of love, loss, and mortality. This small yet poignant work exemplifies the artist's profound interest in the human condition.
