Vrouw met wieg 1856 - 1867

"Vrouw met wieg" (Woman with Cradle) is an etching by Dutch artist Adolf Carel Nunnink, created between 1856 and 1867. The print, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, depicts a woman seated in a rustic interior, her gaze fixed on a cradle. The woman's simple clothing and the scene's modest setting suggest a life of rural labor and domesticity, themes often explored in Nunnink's oeuvre. This artwork captures a moment of quiet contemplation and maternal tenderness. The use of delicate lines and subtle shading in the etching gives the piece a sense of realism and depth.
