About the Item

Immerse yourself in the touching scene of this 1858 painting that tells a beautiful story: As she protected her baby's sweet sleep, the mother nestled comfortably nearby, ready to knit. The quilt wrapped around the child and her mother's warm outer clothing evoke a sense of coolness, while the suitcase she’s sitting on creates an impression of a roadside motel room or their new, still-unsettled home. The artist masterfully conveys the deep emotional bond between mother and child, creating an atmosphere of tranquility and warmth. It speaks of love, care, and the quiet pleasures of everyday concerns, making it an ideal choice for anyone who cherishes heartfelt moments in our fleeting life. DETAILS: Artist: Unidentified. Based on the inscription made on the stretcher, the painting is an interpretation made by "Hilda ***" in 1858 in Gothenburg, Sweden, based on a work by "G. B****tz". Medium: Oil painting on canvas.
