Bukkend meisje bij een mand en een kind 1813

"Bukkend meisje bij een mand en een kind" (Kneeling girl with a basket and a child) is an etching by Jacob Ernst Marcus, a Dutch artist known for his depictions of daily life. Created in 1813, the artwork captures the simple interactions of a young girl tending to a basket while a boy stands by. The delicate lines and subtle shading, characteristic of Marcus's style, emphasize the everyday reality of their lives. This small, but powerful image, held in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the everyday lives of Dutch people during the early 19th century.
