EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 17th century artwork, titled "Woman with Two Children in a Carrying Basket" or "Woman with Two Children on Her Back," is a masterpiece created by the renowned Dutch artist Gesina ter Borch. Painted in 1651, this chalk and watercolor drawing on paper captures the essence of motherhood and family life during the Dutch Golden Age. The image portrays a woman dressed in the fashionable clothing of the time, with a voluminous apron adorning her dark dress. She effortlessly carries her two young children on her back in a large woven basket, supported by a sturdy carrying pole. The woman's expression is serene and calm, reflecting the strength and resilience of a mother in her role as provider and caregiver. The intricate details of the children's clothing and the textures of the basket and carrying pole add depth and dimension to the drawing. The use of chalk and watercolor paints creates a soft, warm color palette that brings the scene to life. This artwork is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Netherlands during the Dutch Republic period. It captures the daily life and experiences of a mother in the 17th century, offering a glimpse into the past and the enduring bond between mother and child. The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands, is the proud owner of this precious artwork, which continues to inspire and captivate audiences with its timeless beauty and relevance.
