Vrouw met een huik in gesprek met een kind 1648

"Vrouw met een huik in gesprek met een kind" (Woman with a hood talking to a child) is a drawing by Dutch Golden Age artist Harmen ter Borch, dated 1648. This pen and ink drawing, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a woman in a hood speaking to a child. The drawing is remarkably detailed, capturing the figures' movements and expressions with precision. It is a testament to ter Borch's ability to capture the nuances of human interaction in his artwork, a hallmark of his work. The piece is a study of human interaction and gesture, and its small size makes it an intimate and engaging artwork.
