Moeder die aan het bed van een kind zit 1854 - 1914

"Moeder die aan het bed van een kind zit" is a watercolor by Dutch artist Albert Neuhuys, dating from sometime between 1854 and 1914. The work, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a study in light and shadow, capturing the poignant moment of a mother tending to her sick child. The faint outlines and subtle washes of color evoke a sense of tenderness and fragility, characteristic of Neuhuys' intimate and often melancholic style. This artwork, while depicting a familiar domestic scene, offers a glimpse into the emotions and anxieties of family life in the 19th century.
