Mother and Child on a Seashore is a 1890 oil by Jozef Israëls, a Impressionism work, held at Art Institute of Chicago.
You see a woman and her child standing on a beach in this painting. The woman is looking out at the sea, while the child plays beside her. This scene is simple, but the way the light falls on the figures is interesting - it's soft and gentle. The artist used light and shadow to create a sense of calm, which is similar to the technique of chiaroscuro.
Grandparents of John Strauss [according to note on accession card]; by descent to John L. Strauss, Chicago; gift to the Art Institute, 1974.
