Vrouw met klein kind staat bij zittende oude man voor arbeiderswoning 1855 - 1892

This etching by Bernardus Johannes Blommers, titled "Vrouw met klein kind staat bij zittende oude man voor arbeiderswoning," captures a poignant scene of everyday life in the Netherlands in the late 19th century. The composition depicts a woman and her child standing in front of a modest dwelling, seemingly in conversation with an older man seated outside. Blommers' masterful use of light and shadow creates a sense of intimacy and emphasizes the figures' relationships. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcasing the artist's talent for portraying the realities of Dutch society during a period of significant social change.
