Zittende visvrouw 1780 - 1849

"Zittende visvrouw" (Sitting Fish Woman) is a drawing by David-Pierre Giottino Humbert de Superville, created between 1780 and 1849, and currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. The piece depicts a woman, likely a fishmonger, seated with a platter in her lap and a fish held in her hand. The detailed rendering of her figure and drapery exemplifies Superville's meticulous style, a hallmark of his work. The drawing showcases the artist's keen observation of daily life and the inherent beauty found in ordinary subjects.
