Jacob Simon Hendrik Kever DUTCH: 1854-
THE LITTLE NURSEMAID
Height, 19½ inches; width, 15½ inches
A little peasant girl, seated in a high kitchen chair, her feet resting on a foot stove, is holding a young child in her lap, at whom she gazes tenderly, while the infant’s attention is fixed on a black and white kitten lapping milk from an earthen dish on the roughly tiled floor near the chair. To the right of the figures, in the background, is a kitchen table with an earthen pipkin on it.
Signed at the lower right, Kever.
