Drie kinderen bij het graf van hun moeder 1830 - 1877

"Drie kinderen bij het graf van hun moeder" (Three children at the grave of their mother) is an 1830-1877 engraving by Leopold Beyer, depicting a somber scene of three children standing at a grave. The children, dressed in simple clothing, appear to be mourning the loss of their mother. The composition is dominated by the large tombstone and the mournful expressions of the children, while the church in the background and the small flowers add a sense of peace and tranquility. The title suggests the artwork is intended to evoke empathy and understanding for those grieving the loss of a loved one. Beyer's engraving is a poignant example of 19th-century artistic depictions of death and grief.
