Mutter im Bett liegend, mit dem vor ihr stehenden Kind sprechend 

"Mutter im Bett liegend, mit dem vor ihr stehenden Kind sprechend" is a simple yet poignant pen-and-ink drawing by German artist Marie Ellenrieder. It depicts a tender moment between a mother, lying in bed, and her child who stands before her. The drawing, housed in the Städel Museum, exemplifies Ellenrieder's skill in capturing intimate scenes of familial life. The artist's use of line and subtle shading creates a sense of quiet emotion and intimacy. The work is a testament to Ellenrieder's ability to convey the depth of human connection through minimalist means, reflecting a common theme explored in her artistic oeuvre.
