"Vrouw ondersteunt een man" is an etching by Dutch artist Kornelis Jzn de Wijs (1832-1896), dated 1842-1896. The artwork depicts a man leaning on a woman for support in an alleyway, possibly due to illness or injury. Their somber expressions convey a sense of hardship. The small size of the etching, measuring 98 mm by 153 mm, adds to its intimate and poignant nature. The detail of the cobblestone street and surrounding buildings provides a glimpse into the everyday life of 19th-century Dutch society.
