Goed moederschap 1795

"Goed moederschap" (Good Motherhood) is a 1795 etching by Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki, a prominent German artist of the 18th century. The etching, housed at the Rijksmuseum, depicts a woman with a child in her arms, standing in a garden under an archway, exemplifying the idealized image of a caring mother during the late 18th century. This small-scale work is characteristic of Chodowiecki's meticulous style, which is known for its delicate lines and subtle shading.
