Title
Lying-in scene after childbirth, German, c. 1731
Description

Etching illustrating the uncleanliness of the mother after giving birth, according to Jewish law. The Bible, Leviticus, XII, 2-5: the text states that a mother should be considered unclean for 40 days after giving birth to a boy and for 80 days after giving birth to a girl. The scene shows a mother in bed eating a meal, surrounded by women and children. Her baby is rocked in a crib. In the foreground, three children ladle water from a jar. In the background is a tented community.
