19th Century Signed Dutch Master Painting Oil on Canvas of Mother and Child.
 
This wonderful piece is visually stunning. The artist uses traditional Academic Realism to create this portrait of motherhood. He is evoking a narrative through the sense of passing time. The scene captures domestic life at a delightful and intimate moment between mother and child. The palette is complex with a wonderful blending of colors. The work is housed in a period frame of very fine quality. The painting is signed in front and back,  “H. Valkenburg“.
Condition is very good.
