"La Mère Laborieuse" (The Diligent Mother) is an oil painting by the French artist Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin, created in the 18th century. Chardin is renowned for his genre paintings and still lifes that reflect the everyday life of the middle class and the domestic sphere with a quiet dignity and attention to detail. While "La Mère Laborieuse" is not as well-documented as some of Chardin's other works, it is representative of his style and thematic focus.

The painting depicts a domestic scene where a mother is engaged in a household task, possibly sewing or preparing a meal, while also tending to her child. The composition likely reflects the values of the time, emphasizing the virtue of industriousness and the importance of maternal care within the family unit. Chardin's work is characterized by its soft lighting, muted color palette, and the intimate portrayal of his subjects, which often evoke a sense of tranquility and contemplation.

As with many of Chardin's paintings, "La Mère Laborieuse" would have been appreciated for its realistic representation of everyday life and the emotional resonance it provided to viewers of his era. The painting serves as an example of Chardin's mastery in capturing the texture of materials, the play of light, and the subtleties of human expression.

Chardin's influence extended beyond his lifetime, with his works being admired for their technical proficiency and their influence on the development of genre painting in France. "La Mère Laborieuse" contributes to the understanding of Chardin's oeuvre and the cultural context of the 18th century, offering insights into the social norms and values of the period through the lens of domestic life.
