Een moeder snijdt brood voor haar man en zoon 1786 - 1833

"Een moeder snijdt brood voor haar man en zoon" (A mother cutting bread for her husband and son) is a pencil drawing by Dutch artist Hendrik Jan van Amerom. The drawing depicts a simple domestic scene with a mother cutting bread at a table for her husband and son, who are both seated. The detailed depiction of the interior space and the figures' clothing and expressions give an intimate glimpse into the everyday life of a Dutch family in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The work is a fine example of van Amerom's talent for capturing the details of daily life. It is also a testament to the importance of family and domesticity in Dutch culture during this period.
