Moeder met een kind en een baby op de arm 1854 - 1914

"Moeder met een kind en een baby op de arm" is a pencil drawing by Dutch artist Albert Neuhuys, created between 1854 and 1914. The sketch, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, portrays a mother cradling a baby while an older child rests beside her. The work exemplifies Neuhuys’ interest in capturing everyday life and the intimate bonds of family. The loose, gestural lines suggest a quick study, possibly a preliminary sketch for a larger composition. The simple composition and delicate lines contribute to the work's sense of tenderness and domesticity, reflecting the prevailing themes of family life in 19th-century art.
