"Mother and Child - study for 'The Pawnbroker's Shop'" (Hungarian: Anya Gyermekkel- Tanulmány a zálogház című képhez) is a notable 19th-century painting by the renowned Hungarian artist Mihály Munkácsy, created in 1873. This work is a preparatory study for a larger composition titled "The Pawnbroker's Shop," which reflects Munkácsy's interest in social realism and his commitment to portraying the hardships of everyday life for the lower classes.

The painting depicts a poignant moment between a mother and her child, encapsulating the emotional gravity of poverty and despair. Munkácsy's use of chiaroscuro, the strong contrast between light and dark, serves to highlight the figures and underscore the somber mood of the scene. The mother's expression, coupled with the intimate embrace of her child, evokes a sense of both tenderness and resignation, characteristic of Munkácsy's empathetic approach to his subjects.

Mihály Munkácsy, born Michael Lieb (1844–1900), was a pivotal figure in Hungarian art and achieved international acclaim during his lifetime. His works often addressed social issues and were marked by their dramatic intensity and psychological depth. "Mother and Child - study for 'The Pawnbroker's Shop'" is a testament to Munkácsy's skill in capturing the human condition and his influence on the development of realist painting in Hungary and beyond.

This study is significant not only as a window into Munkácsy's artistic process but also as an artifact of 19th-century European social history. It remains an important piece within Munkácsy's oeuvre and continues to be studied for its technical and thematic contributions to the realist movement. The painting is also an example of Munkácsy's preparatory works that provide insight into the development of his larger, more complex compositions.
