Kukeleku 1893

"Kukeleku," a poignant illustration by Alfred Ronner, depicts a somber scene of a family gathered around a baby's cradle. The drawing, created in 1893, showcases Ronner's skill in capturing emotional nuance through the use of line and shading. A man stands beside the cradle, his head bowed in sorrow, while a woman sits in the background, her face obscured, adding to the sense of grief. The central figure, a man in a long coat, seems to be examining the baby, perhaps a reflection of the fragility of life. The delicate lines and subdued tones contribute to the artwork's melancholic atmosphere.
