Georg Rueter was educated at the Rijksacademie in Amsterdam by August Allebé, among others. He excelled in drawing and painting portraits and floral still lifes and was one of the leading painters in our country at the beginning of the previous century, like Breitner, Gestel, Maks and Sluijters. Rueter also worked as a glass painter, known for his windows for the Nieuwe Kerk in Delft and the Pieterskerk in Leiden. He also designed ex-libris, stamps and book covers. Rueter's work is part of the collection of Museum Boijmans van Beuningen in Rotterdam and the Frans Halsmuseum in Haarlem, among others.
That Rueter was particularly good at painting portraits is clearly visible in the painting 'Portrait of a baby'. The child is depicted against a blue-grey background and seems to be leaning against a red cushion. Rueter has painted the baby's face with a very fine touch, which makes the bright blue eyes and red lips stand out in a striking way. The white dress that the child is wearing, on the other hand, is painted with a coarser touch.
