Moegewaakt (Tired of Watching)

Artist: Jacob Maris
Artwork: Moegewaakt (Tired of Watching)
Description: This painting depicts a woman in a dark room, watching over a sleeping child. The only light comes from a candle on a table. The woman’s face is obscured by her hand, but her body language suggests that she is tired and perhaps sad. The painting is a study in contrasts: light and dark, life and death, hope and despair.
