MOTHER AND CHILD c. 1906 by Julius Gari Melchers (1860 -1932), replication.

The artwork was inspired by contemporary Dutch painters of the Hague School, Gari Melchers, who settled in Holland after studying in Düsseldorf and Paris, specialized in naturalistic depictions of peasant life, including this sympathetic portrait of a young Dutch woman and her child. Melchers portrayed the pair with vivid intensity, contrasting the woman’s direct gaze with the charming appeal of the baby’s chubby face. In 1906 Melchers exhibited this painting at both the Paris Salon and the Art Institute.
