De linnenkast 1823 - 1900

"De linnenkast" is an 1823 - 1900 etching by Johann Wilhelm (I) Kaiser (1813-1900). The scene depicts a domestic interior with two women, one standing in a doorway with a linen closet behind her, holding a pile of fabric, and the other looking on. A child is depicted in the foreground, looking back at the viewer. This artwork, now in the Rijksmuseum, is an example of the Dutch genre tradition that often depicted everyday life in the Netherlands. The print conveys a sense of intimacy through its detailed portrayal of the room's interior and the figures within it.
