The painting portrays a quiet, intimate moment between a mother and her child in a well-lit interior, possibly within a middle-class Dutch home. The mother is engaged in the meticulous task of delousing her child's hair, a common practice in the era due to the prevalence of lice. This scene is emblematic of de Hooch's oeuvre, which often captures the serene and orderly aspects of household activities, reflecting the contemporary Dutch values of cleanliness, domestic virtue, and family care.

De Hooch's mastery of light is evident in the way it streams through the windows, casting a warm glow and creating a sense of depth and volume in the room. The artist's use of perspective is also notable, with the lines of the tiled floor and the placement of furniture leading the viewer's eye into the space. The figures are rendered with a gentle realism, and their interaction suggests a tender and loving relationship, emphasizing the theme of maternal duty.

"Interior with a Mother delousing her Child's Hair, known as 'A Mother's Duty'" is held in high regard for its artistic merit and as a window into the social customs and familial bonds of the Dutch Golden Age.
