"Suckling Mother and Maid" is a notable genre painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Pieter de Hooch, created between 1670 and 1675. The painting is a quintessential example of de Hooch's domestic interior scenes, which often feature the interplay of light and shadow, as well as the daily life of the Dutch middle class during the 17th century. In this work, de Hooch depicts a serene moment within a household, where a mother is seen breastfeeding her child, attended by a maid who is busy with household chores. The composition is carefully constructed to draw the viewer's eye through the room to the figures and beyond, to the space outside the open doorway or window, a characteristic feature of de Hooch's work.

The painting is celebrated for its use of perspective and naturalistic representation of light, which bathes the interior space and gives it a warm, inviting atmosphere. De Hooch's attention to detail in the textures of the fabrics and materials within the room, as well as the realistic portrayal of the figures, contribute to the tranquil and intimate ambiance of the scene. "Suckling Mother and Maid" is also an example of the artist's later work, which often conveyed a sense of quietude and reflective calm, in contrast to the bustling street scenes and lively company gatherings depicted by some of his contemporaries.

As with many of de Hooch's paintings, "Suckling Mother and Maid" reflects the values and customs of the time, including the importance of motherhood, the role of domestic servants, and the ideals of family life in the Dutch Republic. The artwork is held in high regard for its contribution to the understanding of social history and the development of genre painting in the Netherlands. It remains an important piece within Pieter de Hooch's oeuvre, offering insight into the artist's mastery of light, space, and the depiction of everyday life.
