Barnets hjem 1862

"Barnets hjem" (The Child's Home), a lithograph by Adolph Kittendorff (1820-1902), depicts a mother cradling a young child in a simple domestic setting. The artwork, dated 1862, showcases a tender moment of maternal love and is a prime example of the Danish artist's focus on everyday life. Created using delicate lines and subtle shading, the lithograph captures a sense of intimacy and warmth, conveying the importance of family and domesticity in 19th-century Danish society. It is now part of the collection at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
