Mother with a Child and a Chambermaid (1665–1668) is an oil-on-canvas painting by the Dutch painter Pieter de Hooch. It is an example of Dutch Golden Age painting and is part of the collection of the Amsterdam Museum.
This painting was the second painting by Hooch documented by Hofstede de Groot in 1908, who wrote:
2. MOTHER WITH A CHILD AND A CHAMBERMAID. Sm. 31 and Suppl. 12; deG. 4.[1] To the left, but near the centre of the picture, sits a woman, holding a little child on her lap with her left hand. She wears a blue jacket trimmed with fur and a red skirt; at her right is a wicker cradle. Farther back, to the right of the fireplace, a chambermaid is sweeping the tiled floor. Bright sunlight falls from the window high up on the left, and illumines the back wall, on which hangs a picture. Another picture hangs over the fireplace; below is a chair. In the left foreground is a table with a cloth, upon which is a basket. The open door at the back shows a view of a canal with a stone bridge and a sunlit house.
