"Moeder met kind" (Mother with Child) is a charcoal drawing by Dutch artist Isaac Israels, dating back to between 1875 and 1934. The drawing, which is now part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, depicts a mother cradling her young child. The artist's quick, expressive strokes emphasize the tender moment between the two figures. The artwork is a study in intimate portraiture, showcasing Israels' mastery of capturing emotion and the fragility of human connection.
