Mother with two children visiting grandmother, print, workshop stamp: 'Antwerp Etsers 1880', printmaker: Frans Proost (signed by artist), 1885 - 1913, paper, etching, drypoint, intaglio printmaking technique, height 235 mm x width 318 mm, three generations (family group), A sepia-toned drawing shows an interior scene with three seated figures around a round table near a window; two older women wearing head coverings sit opposite each other holding small bowls while a child sits at the near side of the table looking down at something in their hands. The room contains a window with panes and a curtain, a tall pitcher on the table, a chair with a carved back, and a shelf or sideboard with a candlestick and a covered object. The lighting emphasizes the faces and folds of the clothing, and the image is rendered with fine, closely drawn lines throughout.
