De Duitse mosterdverkoopster 1761

This etching by Elisabeth Claire Tardieu, titled *De Duitse mosterdverkoopster* (The German Mustard Seller) depicts a woman in traditional German clothing, holding a broom and wearing a large, distinctive hat. The woman's posture and attire emphasize her profession, while the composition, a detailed interior scene, suggests a glimpse into everyday life in 18th-century Germany. The artwork, created in 1761, is a fine example of Tardieu's skill in capturing the details of people and places. *De Duitse mosterdverkoopster* is a valuable visual record of German culture and social life in the 18th century.
