In "The Mother," de Hooch depicts a domestic interior scene where a mother is seen engaging in a tender moment with her child. The composition is meticulously constructed, guiding the viewer's eye through the use of architectural elements and the strategic placement of figures and objects. De Hooch's use of light, filtering in through a window, not only illuminates the scene but also highlights the emotional connection between the mother and her child, enhancing the painting's intimate atmosphere.

The artwork is celebrated for its detailed depiction of the interior space, including the textures of the fabrics, the reflective surfaces, and the intricate patterns of the Dutch tiles. These elements, combined with the harmonious color palette and the subtle interplay of light and shadow, contribute to the overall sense of peace and domesticity that characterizes de Hooch's work.
