Malle Teun 1886

"Malle Teun" is an etching created by Dutch artist Jan Veth in 1886. The artwork depicts a seated woman, likely a peasant woman, wearing a shawl and a cap, her head bent in thought. Veth is known for his expressive use of line and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects, often using a style that is both realistic and sentimental. This etching is a fine example of Veth's work, showcasing his keen observation of everyday life and his ability to convey emotion through simple yet powerful means. It is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
