Klederdracht van Noord-Holland before 1857

Ruurt de Vries' "Klederdracht van Noord-Holland" (before 1857), a lithograph depicting the traditional costumes of North Holland, provides a glimpse into 19th-century Dutch life. The work features two scenes: a woman in a carriage drawn by a horse, and a group of people in a boat, including a dog. The attention to detail in the costumes highlights the rich cultural heritage of the region, while the tranquil rural setting captures the essence of Dutch life. This lithograph, now held by the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies de Vries' mastery of capturing the beauty and detail of everyday life in his artwork.
