More about this artwork

In the evocative sketch "Moeder en kind bij een muur" (Mother and Child by a Wall), crafted between 1887 and 1916, artist Willem Pothast captures a tender moment shared between a mother and her young child. The artwork is a delicate portrayal of maternal affection and childhood curiosity set against a serene backdrop.Here, Pothast illustrates the mother in an elegant, flowing dress, gently guiding her child’s hand towards a nautical scene painted on a sketchpad or an easel. The child, depicted with attention to the soft, rounded features typical of early childhood, appears engrossed in the artistic endeavor before them, symbolizing perhaps the beginnings of creativity and learning under the watchful care of the mother.The setting is sparsely detailed yet thoughtfully composed; a glimpse of an ornate piece of furniture on the left hints at a domestic interior, suggesting that this is a peaceful, private moment of familial connection and artistic exploration.
