"Moeder met kind op haar schoot" (Mother with child on her lap), created between 1798 and 1837 by Dutch artist Ernst Willem Jan Bagelaar, is a delicate drawing depicting a mother cradling her child. The artwork's simple composition and detailed lines convey a sense of tenderness and intimacy, typical of Bagelaar's style. This piece, characteristic of the Neoclassical period, showcases the artist's attention to form and proportion, highlighting the enduring bond between a mother and child. The small dimensions of the work, measuring 160 mm in height and 118 mm in width, contribute to its intimate and personal feel.
