"Vrouw en twee kinderen" (Woman and Two Children) is an etching by Jacob Ernst Marcus, created between 1812 and 1813. It shows a woman seated with two young children, all engaged in learning. The woman is in a chair, wearing a large hat, and her gaze is focused on a book in front of her. The two children are seated at a table, one holding an apple and the other reading a book. The scene portrays a common domestic activity during this era, emphasizing the importance of education in family life. The etching, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, showcases Marcus's skill in capturing intimate details and the delicate expression of everyday moments.
