"Boerenvrouw aan tafel" (1904) is a charcoal drawing by Marie de Roode-Heijermans, a Dutch artist known for her depictions of everyday life. This intimate portrait captures a peasant woman, likely a farmer's wife, seated at a table. The woman's simple attire and the focus on her hands, likely engaged in a domestic task, contribute to the feeling of authenticity and realism that defines de Roode-Heijermans' work. The subtle use of shading and light creates a sense of depth and dimension, highlighting the textures of the woman's clothing and the surrounding environment.
