Twee kinderen, neef en nicht, in een tuin 1830 - 1850

Émilien Desmaisons, a 19th-century Belgian artist, created this black and white lithograph print, titled "Twee kinderen, neef en nicht, in een tuin" (Two children, cousin and niece, in a garden), which captures a tender moment between two young people in a garden setting. The print, housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a girl seated on the ground holding a basket while a boy sits next to her, gazing at her with a gentle smile. The scene is a testament to Desmaisons' skill in portraying everyday moments of human connection with a focus on the subtle details of their interaction and the natural world around them.
