Vrouw met rugbepakking, mand en stok 1772

This small etching, created in 1772 by Johann Andreas Benjamin Nothnagel, depicts a woman standing with a basket in one hand and a walking stick in the other. The woman, carrying a large sack on her back, appears to be a peasant woman, likely on her way to market. Nothnagel's work, known for its intricate detail and realistic portrayal of everyday life, gives us a glimpse into the lives of ordinary people during the 18th century. The etching, measuring just 65 mm by 44 mm, offers a intimate portrait of a humble figure.
