EDITORS COMMENTS
August Allebe's painting "Well-guarded Infant," created in 1867, captures the idyllic scene of a Dutch farmhouse interior where a young infant is peacefully sleeping in his crib. The room is filled with warmth and light, streaming in through a window and casting a gentle glow on the wooden furniture and the soft textures of the bedding. The protective presence of animals in the room adds a sense of security and comfort to the scene. A cow and a horse stand outside the open window, while a hen and her chicks peck at the floor nearby. In the foreground, a magpie perches on a rafter, observing the sleeping child with a watchful eye. This painting is a prime example of the Realist artistic movement of the 19th century, with its focus on depicting everyday life in vivid detail. The use of oil on canvas adds depth and texture to the scene, making the viewer feel as if they are right there in the room with the infant and the animals. The painting is a beautiful representation of the close relationship between humans and animals in rural Dutch life during this time period, and is a cherished piece of European heritage art in the Rijksmuseum collection.
