Moeder houdt haar dochter vast, die op de vensterbank zit 1842

This etching, "Moeder houdt haar dochter vast, die op de vensterbank zit" (Mother holding her daughter, who is sitting on the windowsill) by Willem (I) Linnig, is a tender depiction of domesticity. Created in 1842, the artwork portrays a mother and daughter in a simple, intimate setting, possibly a window seat. The mother's protective embrace and the child's curious gaze capture a moment of shared love and connection. This poignant image, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies Linnig's focus on everyday life and familial bonds, a common theme in 19th-century Dutch art.
