Jonge moeder met kind in berglandschap before 1863

"Jonge moeder met kind in berglandschap" is a black and white lithograph created by Isaac Cornelis Elink Sterk before 1863. The piece depicts a young mother breastfeeding her infant while leaning against a large rock in a mountainous landscape. The artwork, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, showcases the artist's skill in capturing the emotional weight of motherhood and the simple beauty of a rural setting, typical of 19th-century Dutch Romanticism. The work highlights a common theme of the era: the hardships of poverty and the importance of maternal care.
