Een vrouw met een kind in een kelderkamer 1875 - 1876

"Een vrouw met een kind in een kelderkamer" (A Woman with a Child in a Cellar Room), an etching by Johannes Arnoldus Boland, depicts a mother handing a small child something in a dimly lit interior. The artwork, created between 1875 and 1876, captures a moment of domestic intimacy. The setting, likely a Dutch home, is suggested by the simple furnishings and the open doorway leading to another room. The use of chiaroscuro, with strong contrasts of light and shadow, creates a sense of depth and realism. The etching, a form of printmaking, reveals the artist's technical skill and his interest in capturing everyday life. Boland's work often focused on scenes of domesticity and the lives of ordinary people.
