Jacob Simon Hendrik Kever DUTCH: 1854-
AMUSING THE BABY
Height, 18 inches; length, 21 inches
A little Dutch boy is seated on the roughly tiled floor of a cottage, clasping to his side a young child, who gazes in admiration at a tiny doll with which the boy is trying to amuse her. In the background on the left is suggested a fireplace with a few glowing embers, and on the right is a tall rush-bottomed kitchen chair.
Signed at the lower right, Kever.
