Scheveningse visverkoopster 1804 - 1829

This watercolor depicts a scene from the streets of Scheveningen, a coastal town in the Netherlands. Created between 1804 and 1829 by Ludwig Gottlieb Portman, a German-born painter, it captures a moment between two women. One, a fish seller, is depicted with a basket of fish and a large hat, while the other appears to be a customer. The painting, part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, provides a glimpse into the everyday life of working-class women in early 19th century Scheveningen.
