Portret van mevrouw Sluiter-Metelerkamp 1891

Jan Veth's 1891 etching "Portret van mevrouw Sluiter-Metelerkamp" depicts a woman seated with her head bowed, seemingly engaged in needlework. The subtle details of the sitter's hands, carefully rendered in the artwork, highlight the artist's ability to capture the quiet intimacy of everyday moments. The etching is a powerful example of Veth's mastery of the medium, and his preference for portraying the human figure in a realistic and introspective manner. The piece is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, a testament to its artistic merit and historical significance.
