Frédéric Bouchot made this print, "Vrouw en kind spelen verstoppertje en vrouw leert kind lopen," using etching. The scene offers a glimpse into the 19th-century French domestic life, reflecting bourgeois ideals. The print’s composition is divided into two vignettes: in one, a woman plays peek-a-boo with a child; in the other, a woman and man teach a child to walk with the aid of a goose, the words "La bêtise" inscribed below. This division hints at the structured roles within the family and the methods of child-rearing prevalent at the time. The detailed rendering of clothing and interiors offers insights into the period's material culture. The Rijksmuseum's acquisition and display of this print positions it within a narrative of Dutch and European history. Studying period journals and domestic advice manuals can further illuminate the cultural values embedded in Bouchot's work. Art history, in this case, serves as a lens through which to examine the everyday life and social norms of the past.
