Vrouw en kind 1790 - 1802

This etching, "Vrouw en kind" ("Woman and Child"), was created by Dutch artist Jan Chalon between 1790 and 1802. The intimate depiction of a mother and child is characteristic of Chalon's style, known for its sensitive portrayal of everyday life. The delicate lines and shading contribute to the work's emotional resonance, creating a sense of tenderness and connection between the figures. The small size of the print, measuring just 103 mm in height and 99 mm in width, further emphasizes the intimacy of the subject matter. This intimate scene, a testament to Chalon's ability to capture the beauty of simple human moments, continues to resonate with viewers today.
