About the Item

This oil painting on panel by Jan Sluijters depicts a peaceful domestic scene of a sleeping child surrounded by scattered toys on a soft blanket. The work radiates tenderness, with Sluijters’ characteristic use of light and color lending warmth and intimacy to the composition. The baby’s serene expression highlight Sluijters’ mastery of capturing everyday life with emotional depth. Jan Sluijters (1881–1957) was a pioneering Dutch painter who significantly modernized Dutch art in the early 20th century. His style evolved from luminism to fauvism, expressionism, and eventually realism, with his works often celebrating modern life and domestic intimacy. Known for his vibrant use of color and light, Sluijters produced a wide range of works, including portraits, landscapes, and scenes of everyday life. His contributions to modern Dutch art remain celebrated, with his works featured in prominent museums and collections.
