Interieur met een vrouw die de bijbel leest 1736 - 1775

This 18th-century engraving by Jan Caspar Philips depicts a woman reading the Bible in an interior setting. The composition, with its emphasis on the woman's figure and the religious text, reflects the importance of faith and piety in Dutch society during this period. The detailed rendering of the room's furnishings and the intricate patterns on the tablecloth contribute to the overall sense of realism. The artwork, titled "Interieur met een vrouw die de bijbel leest," is housed in the Rijksmuseum and offers a glimpse into the domestic life of the Dutch elite in the 1700s.
