Moeder met een meisje op schoot 1854 - 1914

This charcoal drawing, created sometime between 1854 and 1914 by Dutch artist Albert Neuhuys, depicts a mother cradling a child in her arms. The loose lines and shading emphasize the intimate embrace between the two figures, creating a sense of tenderness and love. This quick sketch, likely a study for a larger work, reveals Neuhuys's mastery of capturing human emotion through simple yet powerful lines. The artwork, titled "Moeder met een meisje op schoot," is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
