"Visverkoopster te Scheveningen" (1825) by Guillaume Philidor Van den Burggraaff is a detailed etching depicting a fishmonger from Scheveningen, a coastal town in the Netherlands. The woman stands confidently, balancing a basket of fish on her head, while holding another basket in her hand. Her traditional attire and the background, featuring a bustling harbor and fishing boats, emphasize the everyday life of people working in the coastal region. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the lives of working-class people in 19th-century Netherlands.
