Mother's Duty is one of my favorites. Unfortunately, I have yet to find a print of it.
Your link to Hooch’s painting does not work as expected. I have run into that problem at the Rijksmuseum site. For some reason one cannot simply copy the link as shown when looking at the painting with commentary.
Here is a small shot of the painting.
And here is a large, detailed shot.
To get to the commentary, one has to trudge through all of the frames starting at "home". But it is well worth it.
Ok, I can't help myself.
I guess we should point out that this painting really is "lousy".
Thanks, Jeff for pointing this out. I checked the links originally and they worked, but it must have been a cookie thing. The large images on their site are the best I have seen on a museum site.
