About the Item

Mother and Child at Mealtime – Antique Engraving “Guten Appetit!”, c. 1890 This charming antique engraving, titled “Guten Appetit!” (Good Appetite!), captures an intimate moment between a mother and her child. Created around 1890, the print beautifully depicts a tender domestic scene in exquisite detail, reflecting the timeless themes of motherhood and the nurturing bond between parent and child. The mother, wearing a rustic headscarf and a simple dress, gazes lovingly at her child as she carefully spoons food to him. The child, dressed in a bib and cradling a large bowl, gazes forward with a serious, focused expression. The engraving masterfully captures the textures of the fabric, the soft curls of the mother’s hair, and the innocent roundness of the child’s cheeks. A small doll clutched in the child’s lap adds a gentle touch of playfulness and domestic warmth. The background of the image is subtly filled with a few floral elements, evoking the simplicity and coziness of home life in the late 19th century. The composition, focused tightly on the figures, conveys a powerful sense of closeness and intimacy, making it a moving depiction of family life. This engraving would make a wonderful addition to any collection of antique prints or artwork celebrating family and domestic life. Its classic subject matter and meticulous craftsmanship ensure its enduring appeal for art enthusiasts and collectors alike. Condition Report : This antique engraving is in good condition with mild toning and some age-related foxing. The details remain crisp and the overall image retains its warm and intimate character. Tips for framing: Use a cream or soft ivory mat to highlight the intricate details. A simple black or dark wooden frame will create an elegant, timeless presentation that complements the warm sentiment of the scene.
