This etching, *Dame laat een kind kiezen tussen een appel en een peer* (Lady Makes a Child Choose Between an Apple and a Pear), by Dutch artist Romeyn de Hooghe, depicts a woman offering a child a choice of fruit. Created in 1668, the artwork illustrates a common domestic scene. It is housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and exemplifies the Dutch Golden Age's focus on everyday life. The etching's delicate lines and detailed depiction of the woman's clothing contribute to its realistic portrayal of domestic life. The scene is likely intended to represent a moralistic message about choice and temptation, using the simple act of choosing fruit to symbolize a larger decision.
